People often fake being nice, but most people don’t fake being mean.

@Strandjunker Best advice ever.

@Strandjunker sometimes my mean pops out and makes a mess
the rest of me running after it screaming sorry
and trying to hit it with a mop

@Strandjunker
That's a pretty astute observation. It's difficult for a genuinely nice person to fake being mean because it may hurt someone's feelings, which is contrary to their nature.

But a mean person may well fake being nice as a way of manipulation, which is part of being mean.
