Why are some people mean?

synthroid shouldn't have an effect on her sex drive...if anything, it should increase it.

paxil on the other hand...SSRI's can destroy it.

why not look into another anti depressant? Remeron has no sexual sides...same with wellbuturin

She's really touchy about taking anykind of medications. She has a phobia about pills. She was forced to take paxil a long time ago and stuck with it, but no one can get her to try anything else. She's scared she will go into a full blown panic attack if she takes new meds.

im naturally inclined to be nice, especially lately...i have to TRY to be mean sometimes...people just dont take you seriously and always think your backing down this day and age, even if your simply being courtious.

I actually don't think people would be mean if they really saw the effect they have on others.

Not terribly long ago I worked with someone that was a rotten SOB - he was mean, hurtful to everyone, men, women, his family and a very much a bully by definition. After I realized that he was pushing my buttons think ing he could get more out of me faster, I started to play with him back out of spite and you know what - he like it!When he got me so enraged that I would I actually rant and rave at him at the top of my lungs he literarly got off on it and then admitted it he loved it when I got "all sassy" on him.

I had to cut him loose as a client because just seeing him creeped me out after a while.

It was some time later that I had dealings with his wife and I learned that it wasn't him that wore the manipulating mental pants in the family it was her which just added fuel to his demented sensibilities.

People are only as mean as you allow them to be!

I have this friend who will never change. He has a mean streak in him and has for the 20 something years that I've known him. Been thru 3 marriages, I can only be around him for so long without wanting to strangle him, but I know he loves me and considers me his best friend ever. He's truly Jekyl and Hyde and I just don't get it.

Insecurity about something or other. If there wasn't then what would be the point in being that way. I myself have a short temper caused by little patience....something I could really improve on. I try to be easy going and not let anything get to me because in the end it's just not worth it.

Sounds like he needs one good ass beating.

I did not read the entire thread, sorry, my AD is in high gear today.

However, perhaps he has some sort of chemical imbalance. If it's not that, then I doubt he's going to change his personality after being this way his entire life.

Also, I think each of us has a mean streak in us at times. If I get mad enough at someone, I can get pretty damn mean!! Although, I'd do anything for anyone if they needed my help too.

Have you ever spoken to him about it before?
