I think TishaBuv hit on it mentioning tact. I'm probably one of the most direct people around. Friends used to tell me I called a spade a friggin' shovel. I've learn to leave the "friggin'" part out, for the most part. I believe it is possible to be direct with people without being hurtful. example - if another person and I have different opinions on something I can tactfully say "I'm sorry I disagree. What say we agree to disagree?" rather than "What are you some bone headed idiot!? You're wrong!"
Having said that I also believe there are times when telling a white lie to save someone's feelings is appropriate.
