Being rude can be a social thing even a cultural thing. In some countries, fanny is considered a bottom but in some something totally different. I think we must consider cultural and country differences to know if someone is being "rude".

I try my best to be kind but If I do not like something I cannot help but show on my face I do not hide my feelings well would that be considered rude in some cultures?

This is something I struggle with. It is sometimes hard to be truthful in a gentle way, and I have a bad tendency to be truthful like a machine gun. I know that it has cost me in my business, and it is also often just what the enemy wants, especially these days.

Yes, my dear Praxides,

When you use gentle words, other
people would most likely be engaged
in conversation with you with no
intimidation nor fear as they knew
that they will be heard and listened
to and able to relate to their own
message.

This is a good one, Praxides and
thank you so much for sharing.

Blessings.
