I wonder if telling uncomfortable truths to people makes me rude, or honest.
It's always a hard dilemma.

Depends how you go about it. There's a way to say uncomfortable truth without beign an asshole. It's about knowing the truth will make the person uncomfortable and attempt to put a social cushion for the ego.
In Christianity there is what is called "speaking the truth in love"
The less you know the person the gentler you should be with hard truths
