I weigh what I say most of the time because I never want to be hurtful. But sometimes, and i think we're all guilty of this at some point in our lives, something inappropriate or mean will come out and its done. Censoring my comments came with age and years of self examination.
But I don't confuse speaking my mind with being mean to others. Telling someone that something is bothering me doesn't imply its hurtful to them. Therein lies the difference.
