There's a difference between bluntness and rudeness.
Rude people do obnoxious things, cutting in line, eating with mouths open, double parking, talking without thinking, etc.
Blunt people share what they think and don't beat around bushes.
Situation. A person gets a new outfit and asks you if it matches. (You think it looks terrible).
A 'nice' person would say 'Hmm are you sure you don't have anything else that match those pants?' or 'Yeah it looks cute' or 'Maybe you should ask Sam, he/she has better taste than me". And might or might not talk about how you suck at dressing behind your back.
A 'rude' person would tell you not to interrupt them. And finally when it's too late they'll say how you are bad dresser. And make you redress even if it means making you late. And then blame you for being the one who made you late to whoever. Probably will talk about how you're a horrible dresser behind your back and infront of you.
A 'blunt' person would tell you 'no it doesn't match'.
