straighthead

To be straighthead:

To see things just as they are.
To not fantasize about a situation, no matter how bad it is.
Seeing without letting feelings influence.

The guy in his job tried to get him fired, hoping he would lose his mind in front of the boss.
However, he was straighthead enough to see beyond the moment and kept himself cool.

sidetracked

Social context: Meet (as in see again/ or for the first time) a person who you don't really appreciate being with, and getting stuck with him/ her.

Jonathan, Mark and Darriel are waking towards the balcony in a party. On the way, Darriel is spotted by her high-school colleague, who is a nerd (while Darriel is really cool) and she HAS to talk to her for a while.
Once in the balcony, Mark says:
- Hey, where is Darriel??
Jonathan: She got sidetracked!
