Please choose the correct ending to complete the given sentence: Relationships: [header] How to deal if you think your friends are being mean to you [title] Prepare your thoughts about what you want to say. [step] This can be easier if you have evidence of the mean behavior that you can clearly point out. Make note of specific patterns or recent changes in how your friend acts.

Ending1: Try not to make general statements about him or her being " mean ", instead name the behavior that upsets you. It may be helpful to write down your thoughts and edit the list so you know exactly what you need to say. Ending2: [substeps] Does your friend seem rude, confusing, or likable? Or does your friend have very little in common with you? Makes sense that neither is the case. Maybe they are always trying to be the center of attention or perhaps they are just as far behind in their talent-in whatever your friend's behavior is. Ending3: [substeps] For example, if your friend seems mean to you over email, it could be because they are planning on sending you something. If your friend is saying all sorts of nasty things about you over e-mail, they may be trying to break up with you. Ending4: [substeps] If your friend has become mean, ask yourself why they got to you that way. A friend may be mean to you because they feel sad at the way you're acting and want you to become better.
