Do you have a mean streak?

Question

What brings it out? How do you keep is suppressed?

Answer 1

Yes,however its all about your other question to me,"Are you a fighter for truth justice and fairness.My mean streak comes out when someone who is less fortunate gets picked on ridiculed or made fun of in any way,I really can not stand that.Some people think they are cute and funny,mocking peoples grammar or perhaps cultural differences or ethnic diversities.I think it shows ignorance and lack of compassion on ones part,and perhaps their own insecurities about themselves.Moral of the story-Don't belittle people,it only belittles yourself.

Answer 2

I have a mean streak that comes out under different circumstances. Its triggers, usually comments or actions that I suppressed as a kid that now I lash out on full throttle. I suppress very little, but I apologize immediately, something I never heard as a kid. I try to deal with it by deep breathing and busy myself with cleaning or if really bad, taking apart something in the house.

Answer 3

I think everybody has a little mean streak in them. I always try to be nice to others... BUT, there is always going to be someone to push a button, maybe quite a few buttons. It may be in traffic, the store, a family member....ect.... how do I keep it suppressed? I say a little pray for strength, for one thing... I try to let a lot of things slide by, keep my cool and my mouth shut. Sometimes it isn't easy, but better in the long run.

Answer 4

Yep, you know me, I hate everyone.


Nah-- I really don't have a mean streak at all. I have a very mischievious side, but if it would hurt someone, I just don't do it.
When I was in junior high, I was hurt very badly by several people I thought would never do such a thing. At that time, I vowed to myself that I would NEVER hurt anyone the way I had been hurt, ever. I didn't want anyone to ever feel that pain from my hands-- and so I made it a habit to squelch any meanness I had.
Its just part of me now since that was 25+ years ago.

Answer 5

Yes I do, When someone keeps pushing me after I have told them to back off.
I can only take so much and then out comes the mean streak!♥

Answer 6

I must admit that I do have a mean streak. The things that bring it out are willfully ignorant and willfully stupid people as well as people who lie and play games and waste my time or those who like to mess with me especially when I ask them not to.

Answer 7

I AM FIERCE!!! Fierce, I tell ya!!! LOL.
Don't mess with me! What brings it out?

People who insult me or my family. People who can't drive. People who go through the Express line with a fully loaded cart. People who sit on their sorry butts and draw welfare, when they are very capable of working. People who criticize my race, my religion, etc. People who "THINK" they are smart but are truly idiots. People who work for customer service, any customer service, who are rude and condescending. The list goes on......

How do I suppress it? I choose my battles wisely, the rest rolls off my back! :)
