MEAN
I think I really made a change in attitude when I realized how mean I had been in my life, both to others and to myself. It was because of my insecurity and self-absorption. I really didn't care what others thought or felt. I had to express myself. It gave me control. I felt entitled to be brutally honest, even hurtful, especially about others. Now, though, with my newfound clarity about myself, I recognize the shortcomings I see in others as my own.
