Re: Is the seed of mean in theory of mind?
Date: 2006-04-08 11:00 pm (UTC)Gah.
It's just that some people, when they're mean, you assume something is wrong because they *never* act like that. And others, you understand that it's unintentional, that they're acting perfectly nice, but there's a misunderstanding.
And then you get teenage girls, and others of similar mentality, who think the height of entertainment is to set others up to humiliate themselves. At that point, we're talking about mean as a part of them. Moving past that might be hard.
