Freedom of thinking

I have met several people that could be defined as "authentic". Those kind of people that say what they think without processing it, not worrying if they can hurt somebody. They also don´t care too much about what others think of them and that enables to act freely. For instance, if they want an icecream, they go and get it, it doesn´t matter if it´s cold winter. Basically with this people it's easy to get on well, everything is natural and there are no hidden meanings and double intentions.
During my years spotting life in this world, I could identify several dangerous individuals that are in this group. This individuals behave like I mentioned before, but everytime they say or do or act in an "authentic" way, they remind you that they say what they think and they act as they want, and if you don´t like it, it´s your problem. This "I'm like this if you don't like it I don't care" is like a gun that if placed in a stupid's hand, can become lethal. (Examples of the consequences of dealing with stupids can be found here) And of course, if somebody has to remember to others his qualities, how intelligent he is, how attractive, how... then maybe he is not so much all these things. That is why I'm a bit reluctant of dealing with this pseudo-authentic people.
