Do you think society puts too much importance into sparing feelings?

Question

Because they are important and people should avoid hurting other people's feelings but some things are more important that should be put above that, even if it hurts some feelings.

Yea, I think some people definitely put too much importance on sparing feelings, but at the same time, I also think society has gotten way more insensitive as well. I only say that because a lot of people who think the world is “too sensitive” use that as an excuse to just be flat-out mean with no filter.

I feel like you can be honest without being harsh. I saw someone in their opinion say, “If someone’s fat, they should know it,” and like yea 100% I agree, but obviously most people know how they look we all have mirrors… just because someone’s confident or happy with themselves doesn’t mean they’re unaware. But people would still make comments and assume, not to be helpful, but rather to bully, belittle, and just be hateful. So that’s js one example where, no, you don’t need to have the focus on sparing the person’s feelings but if your not mindful or helpful in whatever you need to say what’s the point of saying anything at all?

So yeah, people don’t always need their feelings coddled, but a decent human being should be able to say what needs to be said without being disrespectful or insensitive. Society’s missing both sides sadly. I’m not totally sure if I understood your question right, but I answered based on what I think you meant.

Yes and I blame majority of women for that. just like on this app they ask for advice yet when you tell them the truth it's " you're so harsh" or they get combative.

Society doesn't exist. I really love saying that things don't exist, it makes me happy. Anyway lol. Society doesn't exist because it's an idea, a term we use while thinking it means something clearly defined, but it's not defined at all. You're in US, I'm in France, we don't live in the same society. Repeat the process with a Turkish, a Chinese, a Jamaican and so on. Besides, we don't think of society in the same way. It's inevitable, because the sum of our views, experience and observations leads to different results. We then use this sum to name a thing: Society. But we don't talk about the same society, you can't even share the same idea of what society is with someone from another state, another social class, another generation etc.  So is there any society out there that puts too much importance on sparing feelings? Maybe, there might be some, but that's just an idea anyway... If that idea was real, I'd follow the path of @lyrem04 as I share her opinion. Ciao !

No. In the era of "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings," the woke mob is coddling a generation that can't handle opposing views. It's a stark contrast to the American spirit of resilience and free speech championed by President Trump.

As the Bible says in Ephesians 6:11, "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." So, if you can't take the heat, then you're not close enough to God.

No, I think it helps a person's self-esteem when this is done in the right way.
