@Ri-na They are not really the same thing at all.
A person could be outspoken and devious (not straightforward).
A person could be reserved (not outspoken) and straightforward.

Being outspoken often means saying things that others might not agree with.
Someone who is straightforward could also be described as 'down to earth'. Meaning that they have no hidden agendas behind what they say and do.
I would say that 'outspoken' is 'stronger'.

Thank you♡ But, actually I'm a little confused :/ I thought straightforward is stronger.
May I ask you outspoken is negative and straightforward is positive?
May I ask you outspoken is negative and straightforward is positive?
- Inglês (RU)
Yes, being straightforward is generally more positive. I would use the phrase 'down to earth' to mean 'straightforward'. Meaning that person has their 'feet on the ground', perhaps not a dreamer or an unrealistic person.
An outspoken person can be seen as controversial and perhaps may offend others.
However, an outspoken person can also be a revolutionary, which may be positive, depending on their opinions.
I hope this helps! The meanings are confusing because they may depend on the context.
Good luck! 頑張ってください！

@Ri-na: I think it's much simpler than that.
These words are not comparable because they mean completely different things.
Outspoken simply describes someone who speaks their mind.
Straightforward describes someone who is honest.
(Note: straightforward can also mean simple or easy if applied to things rather than people.
"The cooker is very straightforward.")
