In this solo episode of Habits and Hustle, we chat about the difference between being mean and stupid. Oftentimes, people don’t realize that they are doing something mean to you or are acting in a mean manner. In this case, they’re being stupid as they’re ignorant of anything and anyone else beyond themselves. 

We also give a few actionable tips on how you can respond to someone who is being mean to you and offended you.

What we discuss:

Key takeaways:

• Most people don’t realize that they are doing something mean to you or are acting in a mean manner. In this case, they’re being stupid as they’re ignorant of anything and anyone else beyond themselves. 

• Common sense may not feel like it is common, but it’s actually because not everyone has the same thinking behind what they think is common.

•  Someone who is mean and someone doing something mean is two different things. In one case, that’s who this person is at the core. In the latter, this doesn’t mean they are a mean person.
