I don't understand why my brother and parents always get upset with me. I'm just being honest with them.

Being honest doesn't give you the excuse to be rude. You need to consider their feelings and be more mindful of your words.

But sometimes they need to hear the truth, even if it hurts.

That may be true, but there's a way to deliver the truth without being hurtful. Have you thought about how your words are affecting them?
human
I guess I haven't. I just feel like they're being too sensitive.

Sensitivity is not a weakness. It shows you care about others' feelings. And you should also care about your relationship with your family. Being rude will only push them away.
human
You're right. I should apologize to them and work on being more considerate of their feelings. Thank you for helping me see that.

Of course. Communication is key in any relationship. We can only strengthen our bonds with others by being kind and understanding towards them.
