No, it isn't a bad thing. Keep in mind, that people are often reluctant to hear "our truth". Having an opinion doesn't necessarily make me right. It merely means that I had opportunity to voice my opinion.
Boldness on the other can also be seen to be aggressiveness. Some times, in society, we learn to be flexible in a variety of situations. Being subtle at times and bold at times is likely a more balanced mixture.

There is nothing wrong with being bold, carefree and truthful. However, when you use truth to hurt casually, thats not a good thing. EX: Boy are you getting fat. Whats the point? The person already knows it. Stating the obvious can get you in trouble and lose people that could be dear friends. Be yourself but consider how you like to be treated and do the same for your friends.

Sometimes it can be. We must be aware of the situation we are in to be able to tell if our words will do more harm than good. But, being bold and carefree is not so bad. And even if the truth can be a hindrance, I prefer it to falsehood.

I'd suppose it's called tactfulness, which is an annoying rule that this society lives by. There's nothing wrong with truthfulness or honesty, and only a twisted morality suggests that it's wrong to be that way. As long a you're not doing it to deliberately hurt other people, pay no mind to those who would rather control what you think and say. These are the people who will abandon you in the end anyway. If you scare them off, it's only a premature assessment of who they really are.

Truthfullness is not bad. Relying on other peoples opinion of yourself can be. What is really important here is how you feel about yourself. I could make all sorts of comments, and claim they apply to you, but you and I both know that we do not know each other. What I hear you saying is that you are unsure of yourself. From this, I would guess you are young. I, on the other hand am old enough to be your grandfather. I remember, though, how uncertain I felt about myself when I was young. The most important message I can give you is that you are okay, no matter what your friends have to say about you, good, bad, or indifferent. Be your own best friend, and ask yourself, "What are my good points? What are my bad points?" Be honost, and change what you need to change in order to feel good about yourself. Enjoy life. Take care of yourself.

Some people can't handle the truth or take constructive critisim. Some people can't take agressive personalities.
Remeber that people are all different and will respond to you in different ways. Just be careful when voicing your opinion or you may drive away people who may have otherwise been valuble friends.

Only weak people can't handle truth. Don't change.
