When someone tells you that you are mean, they are indicating that your actions or words have caused harm, hurt, or distress to them or others. The term "mean" typically implies a lack of kindness, empathy, or consideration towards others. It is important to reflect on your behavior and communication style to understand why you may have been perceived as mean and to work on improving your interactions with others.

In North American English, "mean" is somewhat synonymous with "cruel." It means you are not a nice person, and you do unpleasant things to other people.

In British/Irish English, it generally means you are "cheap" or "miserly." This usage sometimes shows up in North America as well, but only in rare contexts.
