Un-Unfiltered

The next time you go to tell somebody that you have no filter, instead, try telling them that you lack the ability and haven’t the capacity to comprehend and/or perform the situational nuances of civilized human interaction. It’s far more accurate.

Alternatively, you could also tell them you’re an attention-starved, self-absorbed prick.

Having a filter is a good thing. Without them, we would be earlier, evolutionarily speaking, primates, bare-handed and throwing our poo at each other. When you say you don’t have one, you’re basically telling everyone that you can’t distinguish between poo-throwing monkeys and yourself.

There are folks who don’t have filters by no fault of their own. If that’s not you, you’re just making excuses for poor behavior.
