Basically, we understood this particular word as a knife which is not sharpen, or a rounded edge of a pencil.
But, have you ever heard of the term " blunt " in speech ?
This term means that someone gave you a direct comment or something which you consider quite harsh or not saving your face.
Example: A : Aren't you going to the mosque this evening? B: When the heck did I say that? (with an unease tone)
something like that...
Lately, I had come across this friend who would love to give blunt response whenever I asked him/her about something.
And I found it quite ... hurting. It hurts.
And I could not look at this person as a nice person that I always thought of.
I became afraid of asking or suggesting things, especially to this kind of person. I think I did ask properly but this person will just keep on doing it without thinking other people's feelings at that time.
I am afraid that If I tried to defend myself, it would turn into a fight. And I will lose this friend of mine. I dont want this to happen.
Tell me, how do you deal with other people's bluntness?

Walking barefooted on the sand, I frolicked at the water edge.
Watching the sun setting on the horizon, I took as much time as I needed to
breath it all...
