People That are Incredibly Mean

[Jayson]

I have a relative who just constantly says mean things. He's so mean that going to prison would be salvation for him because he needs to be put in his place.

Myself, I can become like him sometimes. I am ashamed of it. It just comes out sometimes.

I really try not to be mean and say mean things to people. That could just be the reason why someone goes home and cries. It might just be the reason why someone gets pressured. Even when people are wrong, we can do well not to say mean things to them.

As a Christian, I'm not supposed to be mean or cruel to people, but the Bible shows countless examples of mean and cruel non-believers who are allowed to punish "bad Christians".

I can't stand mean people and I am not mean to anyone. Even as a boss that has apprentices, I hate to say things that would affect their self esteem. Some people are so mean to the extent of body shaming another person. That is bad.

The more we associate with people, we tend to be like them. Some of their characters and traits tend to wear off on us. That by the said, there are people who are mean for various reasons. Some it might be due to what they have experienced, while there are some who are like that due to upbringing.

I often just ignore people who are often mean. It's not worth associating with them. Sometimes I think ignoring them causes them to lighten up a bit on being mean, but not always.

Sometimes all you can do is put up with them though, and that's easier said than done. But if I can, I try not to be friends with those people, because I don't want to be around negative people too long.

I’ve come across people who were incredibly mean, and it’s hard not to take it personally. But I’ve learned their behavior often reflects their own struggles. I try not to react harshly and instead protect my peace and walk away.

Some people are just so blunt and it gets to the extreme of becoming mean. I am very careful of the way I talk and do things so that I am not mean. That's why I am very diplomatic with the way I talk to people, so that I don't make them feel bad.

People who are incredibly mean often act that way due to their own pain or insecurity. I’ve noticed that responding with calmness and setting boundaries helps protect my peace. Sometimes, kindness can soften them, but it’s okay to distance yourself for your own well-being.
