Depends on the situation and intention. Some people really do want to present a bad with the good realist position. Some people's brutal honesty is just brutality. Like they have no or want no concept of tact or empathy.

I suppose it depends on the bruising.

I made a 13 minute YouTube a few months ago where I admitted every single bad sin and embarrassing Behavior I could think of.
I submitted the video to a white nationalist forum and a black nationalist forum. The whites antagonized me for multiple pages and then Banned Me.
The black nationalist forum was more speechless.
No, I don't think it was healthy to do that and I'm glad I never submitted the YouTube on religious forums.
Neither should I disclose that information to anyone in real life, but I'm kind of an open book.

As a coincidence, the title of my YouTube was "brutal honesty"

Be who ever you want
Truth always is the right way
Poe's law gets me. Dare I ask if you're serious?
To be brutally honest, you misspelled the title of this thread..
Except when he lies, but anyway...
Honestly, check the spelling in your thread title. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! I declare!
Thanks for your brutal honesty.

With satire, the truth is always in the center.
It is not socially acceptable. Even though:
People say they want brutal honesty.
But actually they really don't.
People claim to be brutally honest.
But actually they are not.
Take it from a social pariah hermit man like myself. The only thing brutal honesty achieves is alienating yourself from the rest of the world.
People want to be lied to.
They crave the vanity and glory lies bring.
Truth is often ugly and unattractive. And people do not like that.
This can't be discussed in mixed company. How is that for brutal honesty?
What's the difference between being brutally honest and being tactless?

…
Tactlessness is intrinsically a negative quality whereas brutal honesty isn't.
If it can help the person, sure.
Is there a (long term) gain to cancel out the short term pain?
