Do you know people who like to ‘speak their mind’ and ‘keep it real’ with others but flip when the tables are turned?

| No. Those people aren't keeping it real so I don't hang around them. |

| The impulsive ones are usually also the ones who are sensitive. So they dish it out but can't take it. |

| These are the same people who say “I’m so tired of all the drama!” |

There's mystery here: He's abusive but doesn't like his own medicine. Drop him like a bad habit. |

What do you mean when the tables are turned? Someone gives them real feedback so they flip out or give fake nice feedback back? |

What happened? How did you do that? |

| I know them but I don't spend time with them. For example my college roommate was like this and I finally cut off the post-college friendship because I do not have time to be lectured / insulted by somebody who just wants a passive audience. |

Everyone does this. The people complaining about it probably do it most of all.
OP, consider the possibility that you weren't "keeping it real" so much as "being a jerk". A lot of people "speak their mind" with "brutal honesty" and what that distills to is actually more like "run off at the mouth and let their unchecked, unconsidered emotional reactions fly". |
