"telling it like it is".... is USUALLY what people say when they want to justify saying things that are hurtful and cruel... or when they want to justify their own misconceptions.
I had a guy use that line on me once. He said he was "telling it like it is" when he accused me of being a slut and of cheating on my boyfriend.
Why? Because he saw me out at the base bar, looking nice, talking and dancing with other men. It didn't matter that I wasn't kissing anyone. It didn't matter that I wasn't doing anything more intimate than a two-step... he decided I was a cheating whore, and took it upon himself to "out" me to my boyfriend.... hell even my boyfriend agreed with ME and felt I wasn't cheating either.* but according to that one guy... He was "telling it like it is" therefore the truth was only what he wanted it to be.
So when others say "i'm telling it like it is"... that's what I think of.
Someone who has decided their own personal perception is reality and they're attempting to justify treating others badly over it.
* side note. he didn't like country music and i did, which was why i went out without him when i wanted to listen to country
Is it normal that I get sooooo upset with her?
