Brusque / blunt


Explanation:
Blunt implies such directness and plain speaking as to suggest lack of consideration for the feelings of others and some disregard for the amenities of lfe.
Brusque suggests a certain sharpness of manner and ungraciousness of speech.

(Both definitions from Webster's New Dictionary of Synonyms.)
To me they are perfect to define "antipático" in Spanish
