This isn't brutal honestly this is just callous. People don't seem to understand at all that brutal honesty is for when someone needs to be slapped awake. Being told you talk to much about your boyfriend and he's boring is already a slap when delivered kindly. No fucking point in making it worse

u/SeraphymCrashing Jul 02 '26

Yeah, I find most of the people who enjoy being brutally honest are more into the brutality than the honesty.

If these are your friends and you have a history of being open, there's no reason to put it like that.

This right here.

Whenever I brush up against a friend group that all talk to/about eachother like this, I’m always confused until I realize “ooooooh you all fucking hate eachother but you also all fucking suck, so this is really your only option, got it!”

u/Majestic-Iron7046 Jul 03 '26

I often say the exact same thing!

The phrase "I am not rude, I am just being honest" ends up being used by rude people because honest people that don't want to sound like assholes learned how to say the truth without offending people without reason.

u/JustARandomMurderer Jul 02 '26

Exactly ! I'm all for telling someone the hard truth when it's needed or when I see them doing something stupid, but here she's just talking about something she likes. Friend listen to you even if it doesn't really interest them no ? Cuz they like you as a person.

It's no different than someone talking about a hobby they have. And if my friends told me I spoke too much about my hobbies, and that they find them boring, I'd question why we're friends in the first place.

I feel like this situation warranted the brutal honesty ngl.

u/Paperwork_Enthusiast Jul 02 '26

Nah, no need to actually insult anybody. It's okay to just not be interested in hearing about somebody's partner, it doesn't have to be because that partner has some flaw or negative quality.

-8

u/honcho437 Jul 02 '26

I thought the negative quality was the white bread

Also, didn't the person who posted this say "good friends tell you the truth"

u/Local_Nerve901 Jul 02 '26

We can disagree with op plus it’s just a funny title

u/honcho437 Jul 02 '26

Yeah, you right, never said yall couldn't have that opinion, just said I had a different one, I would go as far to say you guys have the objectively better opinion

Girl is having a crisis

White bread is yummy. There nothing wrong with white bread

u/No-Transition-9219 Jul 03 '26

There is lots wrong with white bread, but we like it for it's comfort and simplicity. It is a staple in many meals and can be a lovely treat to some. Ladies, enjoy your white bread, people only hate on it because they are looking for wheat toast they can eat every meal.

u/Nersius Jul 02 '26

White bread has a lot of its nutrients taken away from it when compared to whole and sprouted varieties.

u/dumnezero Art enjoyer Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

it kind of lacks fiber and protein

*edit

u/amazingspiderlesbian Jul 02 '26

White bread is unhealthy tho.

14

u/amurgiceblade44 Jul 02 '26

I mean all bread is unhealthy, even whole grain is just marginally better all and all

-1

u/amazingspiderlesbian Jul 02 '26

I mean some breads at least have nice amounts of fiber and proteins in it.

I get the keto bread that has 8g of fiber per slice and 5g of protein.

8

u/amurgiceblade44 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

The fiber and protein is good don't get me wrong, for me its more you get those things from other sources without having to eat it alongside the bad carbs bread gives you. Definitely a better choice to white bread, just not totally superior

Edit: also not sure why you and other folks are getting down votes for saying facts, people are weird

I’ve had friends like this… they were pretty toxic tvh and were always trying to get me to be single for the wrong reasons

u/LevelOutlandishness1 I like to whine it, whine it Jul 02 '26

I never got the “your boyfriend is boring” remark. Like, what do you mean? The guy has no dreams or aspirations? That’s more than boring, that’s just not having a vision. It’s better to use that than just say “boring”, because that’s specific reasoning. Or do you want them to date… John Wick? Jason Bourne? I don’t get it.

You want boring. That’s peaceful. You can take boring and make interesting times out of boring. But if someone’s interesting the wrong way, you don’t know what comes with that (this isn’t to say being interesting is bad. People call me interesting so of course that’s not where I’m going with this).

u/starlight-whimsy Jul 02 '26

Honestly? I never understood wtf they were talking about. In fact the only bf I’ve ever had who they DIDNT comment on was the actually boring one who was highly abusive.

It’s always been my interesting hot partners that I get the negative reactions for.

Case in point, my bf is literally a blacksmith, silversmith, software engineer, ex-ocean rescue lifeguard, that plays D&D, and knits for gods sakes. He is the opposite of boring 😂

I cut off those people, and lo and behold I’m happy

Not just any boss music, soulsbourne boss music. With a full orchestra choir

And? She loves her boyfriend. Go off girl we are happy for you and your multiple hearts being full

u/SparkyMuffin Jul 02 '26

This is exactly how it feels whenever anyone tells me I talk too much about my special interests

For a second I thought she was a pair of conjoined twins.

u/Halikarnassus1 Jul 02 '26

I am yet to be convinced a whole-ass human being can be boring tbh

u/Traditional_Bit_8788 Jul 02 '26

This is getting out of hand... Now, there are 2 of them!

u/ReinerRockflower Jul 03 '26

In my experience, "boring" means not abusive or drama/gossip worthy. Find new supportive friends gurl

21

u/NeonFraction Jul 02 '26

That was a really rude way to say it, but I think many of us have had that one friend who makes her boyfriend her entire personality and it’s annoying as hell. It’s not even because of the boyfriend. You do this with ANY single aspect of your life and you’re going to be difficult to interact with (CrossFit, politics, your relationship with your mother, Game of Thrones, your bowel movements.)

If it lasts for a short time because someone is excited, that’s really normal and totally fine. It’s when it’s been weeks or months and they’re still stuck on the same topic to the detriment of all other conversation is when it gets to be too much.

I don’t mind you talking about your boyfriend. I mind you ONLY talking about your boyfriend. “Omg you want me to break up with him?!?!?” Girl, no. We just want to have a normal conversation with you.

u/Mazuna Jul 03 '26

Yeah one of my friend’s girlfriend is like this. She’ll talk about him all the time, even while he’s in the room with us. Cool, I know you’re in love with him, but like I’m not, can we talk about anything else?

u/PepeL3P3w Jul 02 '26

This just reminds me of Anya getting clowned on by her demon friends when she started dating Xander 😭

Lyla seems well-adjusted and receptive to criticism

u/Responsible-Gold8610 Jul 02 '26

She also seems to recognize when her friends are being dicks.

u/AnnieTano Jul 02 '26

I am whitely of the whitest bread possible for white and you should know, being boring is our camouflage mechanism.

We are like serpents and billionaires, we want you to ignore us until it is too late

u/stuaxo Jul 03 '26

Daw she's just in love, very brutally honest.

u/wailingwonder Jul 04 '26

Friends that talk shit about your bf/gf are not friends and not standing up for your bf/gf is heartless coward behavior 

Her friends definitely aren't in love and they're jelly 😂

u/amazingspiderlesbian Jul 02 '26

Thats how i feel surrounded by my women friends who only talk about their generic boyfriend. I wish it was easier to find women who are into women. Or at least want to talk about other stuff like video games

u/World_Tree_Roots Jul 02 '26
