mean vs honest

People always confuse Mean with misunderstood or honest.  (ok, sometimes twisted and complicated but thats just lil ole me)  Its called boundaries.  Respect them then.....try and set some.    I like me......do you?  You should.  You only get one shot at this life we are blessed with.  There are no do-overs.  Be mean, be firm and be loving while you teach others.
