[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to say you're sorry when you mess up/hurt someone, even if it wasn't on purpose.

Build people up and make them feel good about themselves.

Be gentle if you have to say something negative.  Ridiculing someone, even if it's about something silly, can hurt and may make you come off like a mean person.[/quote]

All of this.  Also,

Be compassionate.

Mean people are usually unhappy about something, most likely themselves, and use belittling others to make themselves feel better.  Steer clear of these people.

People talk about how people can't change.  I don't think that's true.  Everyone changes over the course of their lifetime.  But where relationships are concerned, the important thing to remember is that you cannot change them into what you want.  You cannot control that change.  So find someone whose core values and behaviors you respect and can tolerate and go from there.

Worrying and trying to control everything gets you nowhere fast.  The only thing you can control is your own behavior.
