Constant... no. I am not always consistent in my realism, although it matters to me. On the other hand... I can easily spot constant realists, I like them.
Yes and no, I second-guess naturally. But then again, relying on someone shows that there is a bond and bonds are important to me. As a rule, I trust a person when my gut and knowledge tell me I should.
Was that a typo, you meant "rude"? In that case... it can concern me, although it depends on why they are being rude, which I usually figure out. I myself can be rude, in a sense of disrespecting another person's assessment. I can use personal affronts so of course, when being target of this affront myself, it bothers me. What isn't part of a person cannot affect them. I handle such a situation at work by looking at the consequences of my reply. I am cautious because work relations should be on good terms. In severe cases, I create distance between me and the rude person.
Direct - yes, pushy - only a bit. Everything always unfolds as it should so I don't even have to steer somebody in this or that direction. Via being direct, they can and will figure it out themselves. If the LSE is tardy and that has repercussions, I'll scold them for sure though. Especially because I know that if they do it once, there's a high chance it'll happen again, with a different excuse but essentially the same faulty timing.
