Would you rather be mean to other people or yourself?

Question

Would you rather be mean to other people or yourself?

Answer 1

I agree with the others, I'd rather not be mean to anybody including myself, but if I had to choose it would be myself and not others. If I'm mean to myself, I will probably recover, but if I'm mean to somebody else there's no telling how much damage it could do to them emotionally so I'd rather not take the chance.

Answer 2

It's easy sometimes to not treat yourself right because you may feel guilty about something you did but you shouldn't do that to yourself.

I don't like being mean to other people but sometimes they get to you to the point where it you've just had enough.

Answer 3

myself,sadley

Answer 4

myself. i am used to cutting myself down, so its not that big a thing... other ppl dont deserve to be treated rudely, but treating yourself like that isnt all that great either... but hey, i would rather be mean to myself because usually when i'm mean to myself things work out... make sense?

Answer 5

The Golden Rule "Do not do unto others what you do not want others to do unto you."

Answer 6

i would always be myself even if people dislike who i am i will never act as someone i am not especially being someone who is mean

Answer 7

Neither.  Why be mean to anyone?  It is a waste of time and solves absolutely nothing.  Anger is an issue that needs to be resolved.  Figure out what is bothering you and go directly and politely to the person who you have the problem with and work it out. 99% of the time you''ll figure out that it wasn't that big of a deal and you shouldn't have gotten so mad and worked up and eventually you'll learn to have more patience and empathy with people.

Peace & Love  :)

Answer 8

either of the two, why do we need to be mean? is there a reason to do so? there must be logical explanation why so we mean which I hope wont because being mean is no good either of the two.

Answer 9

That's a tough Question... If I'm mean to myself it lowers my self esteem. Mean to other people., it creates an unpleasent world... Tough question...

Answer 10

Neither to myself nor to anyone. There is no fun and no gain, if we are mean to anybody. It is a negative trait and I do not believe in that.

Answer 11

I'll be mean when a person is mean with me. Of course I try not to be mean with people who are not mean with me. I rather be mean with myself. You can't be "kind" with idiots who are mean to you. I am no "Winnie the Pooh". Beware!

Answer 12

Say what you mean, mean what you say and don't say it mean! There are healthier ways to deal with frustration, anger or any negative emotions that you may be feeling that makes you want to be mean to yourself or others and when you learn these ways then you don't have to be mean to anyone.

Answer 13

I am only mean to those that attempt to walk all over me or are mean to me. It's odd too how when I react this way people suddenly complain at how hurt they are by my actions when they just tried the same thing.

Answer 14

I always prefer to be myself.But some times i imitate others in some things.i never be totally like those people

Answer 15

Myself.

It keeps me in check, being critical on myself. Makes me a better person, I should say, because it fine tunes my personality to what I want it to be.

I would hate to be too mean to other people. I am usually a calm and understanding guy but when it comes to certain people I can go berserk. I usually feel bad about it afterwards.

I'm going to stop here. Hope this is the kind of response you wanted.

Answer 16

Myself. I need a good dose of reality sometimes, and that way, nobody else gets hurt either.

Answer 17

In both the cases, you burn yourself inside.So dont be mean to either.Best wishes

Answer 18

odd question , but duh neither and especially not to myself....BE NICE UNTIL ITS TIME NOT TO BE NICE thats what i live by

Answer 19

neither/ being rude/mean/bratty is just ugly. no one likes that kind of person. and you should always be nice

Answer 20

It depends on what mood I am in. If people encroach upon my personal space I have every godgiven right to make them feel like ***. If I am at fault myself, I still have the god given right to come down on only stupid people.

Answer 21

Depends on who it is and whether they deserve it. Generally speaking i would rather be mean to myself.

Answer 22

I'd rather just treat people how I wanted to be treated....

And that just doesn't mean good & nice.

It is dependent upon the situation & how they want to be treated.

Usually pretty nice though....

Respect is the main priority.

All most people want is RESPECT.

I'd rather not be mean to anyone, just dismiss them.

I would never be mean to myself, that does absolutely nothing!

NOTHING GOOD AT ALL!

Answer 23

I don't like being mean to anyone including myself.

Answer 24

I don't believe in being mean; what does it accomplish in the long run? I'm not mean to myself or anyone else.

Answer 25

I find it hard to be mean to anyone including myself.

Answer 26

nieter... i try to always be nice... it makes me sad to know all the wrong and cruel and decieving thing that are happening in the world. so i try to be one of few who are nice to all. and  am yet to meet someone in person who has never said something mean about someone, whether to thier face or back

Answer 27

Being mean to anyone and to myself is pitiful, depressing, and is a waste of time.

Answer 28

Always be good to yourself AND others. What goes around, comes around.

Answer 29

i would rather be mean to myself before i am mean to others... what i mean is that i would rather contain my anger or other feelings, unless they give me reason not to.  in my case, if i let go of my feelings, other people will try to use them against me, or to their needs, so, its safer for me to keep them all to myself...

Answer 30

its just better to be kind to everyone ex specially yourself..

Answer 31

Neither. Love yourself, then you'll be able to love others.
