Why do people get upset when you're honest with them?

[Seangreen]

I told somebody that you're not entitled to love. Now I'm all that's wrong with the world because the reality is you may not find love in this life. Nobody's entitled to anything. You may think you're entitled something but until you get it all bets are off.

Deserving would be a term that reflects what one has a natural right to. In other words, that which one's worth implies one should receive. Entitled to would be a term that reflects what one can or could legally force others to provide. Here, the key is that one has a "title" - a formal positive right.

for those of you who need the definition along with a comparison that you are probably confusing the word with. Broaden your English vocabulary you non native speakers.

Just because you'll never be worthy of love or entitled to it - doesn't mean others aren't deserving of it with very little effort because they unlike you are simply good people. This is nothing they've to work hard on, it's just who and how they are, sorry you'll never be it.

[Seangreen]

Completely missed the point that I made entirely like a typical woman

[Opinion Owner]

Oh poor little unlovable male.

Cry a little harder. Don't womens fault that you'll never someone worthy of love.

[Opinion Owner]

Not women's fault that*

Keep on being unlovable and unloved. You'll never be someone who deserves love. The "love" you will feel is only and forever based on what you can offer because who you are willing NEVER be enough.

[Opinion Owner]

Even the love your parents felt

[Opinion Owner]

*even the love your parents felt for you is based on what you offer them.

Not even entitled to your parents love, that's how much you suck as a human being, even that love is based on effort not on who you are as a person.

[Seangreen]

Are you mad?

[Seangreen]

that was the situation that made me ask the question, its not the focus of the question.

[Opinion Owner]

Not mad at all little unlovable creature. Just a lot on my mind. No wonders no one wants you. Just look at that. someome doesn't kiss your ass and they must be mad. Poor unlovable little bugger. You're right some people, like you, will NEVER be good enough as you are, that you'll never be entitled to anything. You as you are will NEVER be enough for someone to send love your way.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Are you sure if the question had to do with entitlement and not worthiness?

[Seangreen]

it was entitlement vs deserving

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The belief that everyone is deserving of love or not is highly subjective, not necessarily the “truth.” If you hurt someone’s feelings with your opinion and you still want to salvage the relationship, maybe you should apologize

[Seangreen]

its not about the example that caused the question ok

[Seangreen]

look just read the question not the backstory

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Again, if you believe “deserving” implies work to earning love, that’s an opinion. I am personally of the belief that everyone is deserving of love regardless of who they are or what they’ve done

[Seangreen]

Okay what made me ask the question was the example I gave in the description I'm not talking about the example given in the description okay but since you can't understand what the hell I'm trying to say is just look at the question all right and then you keep going on yes everybody deserves love but nobody's entitled to it do you see what I'm saying. Entitlement is when basically you have the ability to demand something that's owed to you. I never said nobody deserves to not be loved I said nobody's entitled to be loved. We have words for a reason and different words have different meanings. But anyway it was really just a question not why I had to ask the question

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Yeah, we’ve covered my feelings on that specific issue. The original question was about why people get upset when you tell them the “truth” and from the sound of things you took an opinion as fact and told that to a friend who then got upset with you

[Seangreen]

a definition of a word is not an opinion; women really have no clue how to communicate properly.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

You know a natural right isn’t the same as a legal right, don’t you?

[Seangreen]

I like turtles

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Me too, they’re cute

[Anonymous]

Sometimes, some people don't like to hear the truth.

[Seangreen]

Yeah yep you're absolutely right. It's not what they want to hear although it's probably what they need

[Opinion Owner]

My thoughts exactly.

[Opinion Owner]

Thanks for the MHO

Well, honesty can sometimes feel like a splash of cold water, especially if it's something people aren't ready to hear. 👀 People often romanticize love and see it as something everyone should find, like it's a given. Dropping truth bombs can shatter those sweet illusions. Remember, love can be a bit of a wild card – unpredictable, elusive, and absolutely worth chasing, even if it's not a guaranteed prize! Keep spreading that honesty with a dash of empathy, and you'll sprinkle some truth magic along the way. 💫

[Seangreen]

I get it I don't come off as an empathetic person but if you really look into it deep enough I'm telling the person what they need to hear not what they want to hear

[Nikki1989]

Boo-Hoo. FFS!

[beenherebefore]

Honesty can often hurt.
