Tact and the lack thereof

I'm not sure why I lack tact, and up until now I haven't been bothered to wonder.  I do know I'm blunt, but I never really considered how different I could chose to be, and what effect that may have on my relationships.  Generally, my relationships are fantastic, but I do intimidate people when they meet me and I don't really want to be that person. 

I am, despite my own bluntness, a sensitive person who is easily hurt by what others say.  I ought to know better actually.  I need to learn to LISTEN.

"Wisdom is having a lot to say, and not saying it"

Having a lot to say and not saying it requires self-control and discipline.

Note to Self: Replace bluntness with {kindness}
