Being mean

Why is it that we are usually mean to the ones we love? Especially when we talk amongst ourselves, we tend to add little barbs that we know will hurt them, but we do it anyways.

Why?

I was just chatting with my friends the other day and it was then that I realised that we say so many hurtful things to each other. And the worst thing is when one person jabs the other with caustic words the only thing that the other person will do is retaliate with an even worse remark. And you can sense that the other person feels hurt, but you just can't help it.

Or can you? But you just choose not to?

I think that sometimes we just speak without thinking, expecting the other person to know that we don't mean it and to laugh it off. But sometimes the other person can't. And when that happens, we accuse that person of being overly sensitive. When in actual fact, we are the ones being insensitive.

I wish I could take back all those mean things I've said to the ones I love. Trust me, after I've said whatever I've said, I feel really guilty and horrible inside. And I know that all I was doing was being mean.
