I wish I was more of a mean person?

Okay this sounds weird lol but it's not so much that I wish I was more mean but I wish I didn't care what people thought of me and stuff. Like for example before I post a tweet or something on twitter I think "what if this person saw it and omg they'll think I'm weird or stupid" or if someone's mean to me I just ignore it. I know that's what you should do but I'm tired of letting people run over me. Nobody really bullies me but it's simple stuff. I think to much. How can I get this? By the way I'm almost 15.

Noone will ever like everything we do and say, but as long as you have pride and are respectful you will be just fine. It is a time for everything and I am not saying that you should be a push over but just know how to handle yourself if you need to. I am not the nicest person and a lot of people tell me that when they first meet me they think that I am mean or look unapproachable. While that is good at times overall it is not how I want to be seen but I can't change everyone's opinion. Just be yourself as you get older you will look back and appreciate your current ways.

Mean sounds a little harsh. Do you mean more strict? I kind of feel the same way in school. People used to take control of my knowledge and I felt sick about it. I seriously think being strict (similar to my example) is smart, because you are taking control of situations; not just letting people running over you.
