If being honest is being abrasive, then I don’t know what to tell you. What should I do? Lie? How will that resolve any issues?

I tell it like it us. I don’t b.s. My friend likes the fact that I’m real & not a phony. It seems like people tend to find honesty to be offensive which is a problem with them, not me.

I admit, I honestly have no problem hurting someone’s feelings when they mistreat & abuse me. Example, I called out that former mooch friend & shamed her to her face for being a user & a liar. How dare she tried to use my friend & I. She deserved what she got, lol.

You may not have said some of the things you were thinking, but she may have perceived what you were feeling. So much communication is nonverbal - tone of voice and, if in person, things like eye contact and body language. I think you mentioned you may be on the spectrum or are on the spectrum? Maybe you aren't as aware about how your communication style is perceived. Just a thought.
Thanks for this!
