one of my friends called me "mean" yesterday. i can think of so many other people who are deserving of that adjective, much more than i am. she pointed out that she still loved me, but it made me wonder if that's enough. is it okay for somebody to think you're mean on one level (which implies not only distrust but also a certain level of dislike) and still claim to be your friend? is that my personality flaw, in her eyes? because, really, YES, i was a bitch last week. i freely admit it. but if i was mean, i wouldn't have apologized. and the bitchiness was completely out of character for me, especially in a teacher's class. am i really mean? i'm honest. does that count as mean?
