..I confess that I have experinced the same as above for many years now, people sometimes think of me as mean because I skip the chitchat and go stragiht for the point. If I dont like you, I will most likely tell you that to your face if theres a good reason to do so. Dont do it on purpose though, but sometimes its just mindnumbing with all the talk about nothing. When someone say they dont like me, I just think "yeah what a surprise.." and try to not think about it, not care. If I where to line up all the people that didnt like me and that I have had some run-ins with over the years, that would be one loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong line.
