I find I am paranoid about being too know-it-all, dominant and mouthy. I have had a lot of life experience, some big knocks and I like to cut to the chase. Sometimes if people come to me with their problems (happens a lot) I feel I can see their situation or the answer all too clearly and so I say it. I also don't let people get away with rudeness or insensitivity, when others would stay quiet. Can you dig? Where does one draw the line between assertiveness, rudeness, honesty, helpfulness, politeness...? It's a question we all have to deal with. I think you should always be true to yourself and speak from the heart, despite the consequences, but sometimes it's hard to be different... what do you think?
