How come everyone thinks im mean? all i do is tell the truth. I gues they just cant handle the truth. Do you guys appreciate it when people tell you the truth or stupid lies? I would rather know the truth not stupid lies people tell me to feel better gosh.

Whats your opinion

Dear Schoolandthepeople,

If you think people think that you are mean, it may be the tone in which you're saying it. Telling the truth and being mean are two completely different things. I appreciate the truth myself, and if someone is saying something in order to help me, I will certainly take it into consideration. However, if the tone and the words are condescending, rude or they sound mean, is there any way else to take it? And are you able to give it but not able to take it back? You can tell the truth and be compassionate at the same time. Nobody likes to be put down or thought of as a failure. Nor do people like to think that you are better than them even though you may have a better suggestion than them. If you are getting this a lot, from different people, try making a suggestion using a different tone and also consider how you would feel if someone you liked or respected responded the same way to you. Because, unfortunately, you can't change other people, but you can change the way you relate to other people. Hope it works for you. Good Luck!
Linda
