Many reasons for this - one under discussed one is that there’s a pretty bad “kind truth vs unkind lie” problem in Ireland because everyone knows each other and no one wants to be known as the dick, which can only be fully escaped by leaving.

1. Telling people they made a mistake - generally received well.
2. Telling people they are stupid - generally not.
Telling people their mistake *was* stupid turns 1 into 2.

@visakanv Nice! I think also when people see their identity as being fixed over time, "I'm just being myself" can be used to justify being an asshole, or being too nice. There are many parts of “yourself” that can change over time. I think mine would be: “Be sincere and communicate well"

Another popular similar sentiment is "You can't understand everyone, some people are just crazy", which I think is also given too much airtime. You can swap out the word "please" with "understand" in the above thread and the conclusion holds.
