Why does it seem that people actively avoid expressing disaagreements on what somone says when they are out somewhere having a conversation? Why arwe people more concerned about trying to sound nice rather than being honest? It's not provactive or antagonizing to simply say "I can't agree with you on that, I disagree." I suspect that if someone articulates the reasoning behind their disagreement, a lot of people would not be bothered by it, unless someone wants everybody to believe the same things and are easily disturbed by contrary points of views.

You're suggesting to be delicate with everybody and never believe someone is a confident adult until they've shown that they don't get irrationally emotional over unpleasant words.

Not really. I'm suggesting people are social animals and will not enjoy you if you piss on small talk. Yeah small talk sort of sucks. Sorry.
