At school I sometimes feel I am too mean. I joke a lot but lately I have been feeling like the jokes are too mean. I don't want people to be insecure about themselves around me. If my friends and I joke around I'll say something a bit harsh and I'll feel like I hurt the person's feelings. Even if I say "Oh, but that joke doesn't work because you're skinny," or something I still feel bad.

Now, don't get me wrong. I am not a mean or horrible person. I am very caring and kind. I just feel I can sometimes get too witty and make a rude, unkind joke. Can someone just help me try and be less mean? Thank you.

I know exactly how you feel. I am a very sarcastic person and I feel like sometimes it may hurt others feelings. But thats just the way I am. It really depends on who your talking to. If your best friend really knows you, then she should know that your just jokin around with her~ as for those others that think your bein "too mean" who cares? Having an attitude is tough, trust me I know. I always want to speak my mind on every little situation, even when my opinion isnt asked for. Being witty is a good thing. Its good to be clever; just not all the time. Try to be a little less aggressive in a conversation, and not make as many clever comments, because sometimes that can be very intimidating, and may make you come off as a bitch, even though thats not how you really are! Hope this helped!
