In reply to It's unkindness that bothers me, posted by Dinah on October 28, 2007, at 11:40:04
I agree that unkindness masked or not is hurtful. I can't always spot it no matter how caustious I am, and when it hits me in the face out of left field or when I find someone is saying negative things about me behind my back, I get really pissed. I don't want to be too cautious as like you said, you could miss out on something good.
What does it mean when someone acts that way? I guess it is different things for different people. Sometimes it is just plain meanness. Sometimes it is insecurities. Sometimes it is to get people to take sides. Sometimes it is jealousy. I could go on. Point for me is that if someone stabs me in the back, I really don't care about their issues. I just want them to keep their distance from me.
