I think the reason I'm commonly misunderstood is because I talk in the way that I talk to myself. I'm constantly doubting and debating myself so it's not uncommon for me to say something I don't actually believe as if I do believe it. Like, I speak in "What ifs" a lot. Also, the way I doubt myself so much, it's sort of an OCD habit designed to catch anxious thoughts and disregard them but I also started doing that for everything, questioning everything. So, when I say stuff maybe "confidently" or seem a little bit cocky (more likely the latter), it may seem as if I fully believe what I say but I say it confidently or cockily because I taught myself to be confident, and it worked, it's a habit now for me to just speak my mind, seemingly arrogantly. It's just because I used to be shy though. Also, because I doubt myself often to make sure I'm as close to the right answer as I can be, I like to be corrected by people on subjects that I wouldn't otherwise have enough interest in to find it out myself, like the nicotine "OD" thing, I'm thankful for the info that I was wrong. At first, I obviously got defensive, but ultimately I'm thankful I was able to learn something new that, honestly, I "should" have already known.
Oh, and on the rudeness bad or good thing. To be sure, I think that when rudeness involves the use of force or coercion, then it becomes an absolutely terrible and dangerous thing.
