That depends on what you are saying. If you are calling people derogotory names, like control freak, than yes.
If you are honestly giving sound advise while being nice at the same time, than no.

I personally don't think that speaking your mind makes you a bi***, but rather the way you say the things you say that makes you a bi***. You can speak your mind and get your point across without being nasty or verbally abusive (which is usually what makes others think of people as a bi***). Perhaps that is why a lot of people think of you that way-what you are saying, how you say it, and the tone of your voice when you speak. Try speaking softly, and in a monotone voice-little or no emotionally quality to your words make people shut up and listen to what you are actually saying. If you speak loudly, or get too emotional when speaking, most people just tune you out and think nasty thoughts about you.

It's a certain way you can speak your mind without coming off like a b*tch. You have to use tactics. I speak my mind all the time honey. I've learned through the years that people respect you more when you tell it like it is but in a non-threatening way.

I think speaking your mind is a good thing as people know where they stand with you when you do... I think the point people here are trying to make is use the right attitude when doing this!!

Its a simple concept. It is not what you say but it is how you say it. Though some poeple do not take the truth willingly in any case, usually a soft response turns away negativity. Just be mindful of tone and word usuage

no a b**** is someone that says something behind ur back. People should be grateful at how open and honest you are, some people might not like the truth. You could do it in the nicest possible way without being rude tho

C'mon... you already know if you are or not!! If you don't care what you say (and hurt people's feelings) then you are. If you are just being honest, and one person called you that because the truth was hurting them, then you're not. We only go around once in this life... do you want to be the type of person who hurts others or one who is compassionate? It's your choice.

No. Using language that has to be filtered does.

it depends on how you put your words eg harshly or saying the truth and still being sympathetic.
