If everyone you know tells you that you are a certain type of person, does that mean you're that kind of person or do they not really know you? If they are right, then I guess I'm a mean spirited, selfish person. I hope they're not right, because if they are, why are they still friends with me?
This is not a happy New Year for me.

It sounds like you need new friends. Real friends would never say something to you like that because it'd be selfish and mean-spirited. :) If they cared about you, they'd find a way to love you through your negative personality traits, which we ALL have. That's one of the things friends do: support one another.

Thanks, I guess I have to reevaluate if they really are my friends or not, because if they were they would get the real me.

I think if you think they're wrong, it might mean that your attitude, the way you treat other people might come off mean or just harsh. Or that your friends are just selfish and demanding.

My best friend told me once or twice I'm a mean bitch and I think, yeah, that was harsh and he wasn't 100% right, but that might've been the way people read my intentions from my actions and I was kinda grateful for the honesty. Even your best friends can only know you from the side you show them. There are people who seem mean because of their tone of voice, sense of humour or body language, because they protect their privacy, etc. If it bothers you that your friends might be right, you could try to look at your actions from an outside point of view. I think you're the only person here who can judge your intentions, but it's good to kow how your actions are perceived. Now you can compare the two and calibrate your attitude :D

I think they're wrong because most of the time I'm joking around, but I don't think they know that it's not the real me. You're story is similar to mine I guess, I think its the misinterpretation of my actions that causes people to not see me actually. I have to take a real look at myself and the people I hang out with and see where the miscommunication is going on. Thanks, I have a lot to think about because of you.
