Sag Truth Bombs: When Honesty Hurts 😬💣

Sagittarius values truth, often delivered with zero filter. This bluntness, while usually well-intentioned (they just want to be real!), can sting in relationships. They might point out flaws or state uncomfortable truths without considering emotional impact.

How can partners cope? Firstly, try not to take it too personally – it's often their default mode, not a targeted attack. Secondly, appreciate the underlying honesty – at least you know where you stand! Thirdly, set gentle boundaries around delivery. You can say, "I appreciate your honesty, but the way you said that felt hurtful. Could you try phrasing it differently next time?"

It also helps to develop a thicker skin and a sense of humor. If the bluntness is consistently careless or cruel, that's a red flag, but often it's just Sag being Sag. Learning to communicate your feelings about their delivery, without shutting down their essential honesty, is key.
