I don't like mean girls

God help me not to be mean. I don't like mean girls.

Things I think are mean:
~ Not teaching your children better than to rub it in a child's face that they were not included in something special.
~ When someone shows effort to be your friend, thinking that you are too popular, too busy, or too important to have to be kind in return.
~ Answering a phone call when you are talking to someone, as if whomever is calling is more important.
~ Not returning - voicemail, email, or text messages.
~ Inviting others to do something in front of someone you are not inviting.
~ Thinking people are just dramatic and not sharing their burdens, even when they aren't our own.
~ Uninviting someone to do something because a "better" offer came along.
~ Only being willing to take time to talk to someone if they can do something for you.
~ Avoiding someone you know is emotionally needy, because they might "need" you.

I think people are mean because someone sold them a big fat lie that they are more important than the people around them. If we would all just pay attention, less people would be hurt by the things we overlook.

If you know me - Don't worry what you might have done or said to me lately - I am not talking about you. I'm just sayin'. I am so sick of seeing meanness all around me and how hurt people are by it that I could vomit!

God help me not to be mean. I don't like mean girls.
