I have had some home truths thrown at me this weekend, and I'll be honest, they didn't feel good.

I'm not naturally nice and my temper is short, so I have to work at it and I am going to make an effort.

Are you naturally nice? Or is it something that you think about when dealing with people?

Depends on my mood. Generally I think I'm pleasant enough but I have tendencies to lash out when my mood is low.

Really depends on the person. If your nice to me ,I'll be nice. If you piss me off, well that's just a bad idea.

It’s a subjective thing, but I hope I’m naturally nice.

Sometimes I end up getting walked over, but it doesn’t happen for long. I don’t get nasty, I just walk away.

I can be short tempered when I'm tired and/or stessed or hormonal, and will sometimes shout at the children for example, when I shouldn't.

I do try to curb it though but we are only human.

Don't beat yourself up OP, we are sure your good traits outweigh the minority of the not so good.

I think by default I'm a people pleaser. It's not all it's cracked up to be. I'm unlearning that. Partly because I seethe until I blow up. And partly because it can be kinder to be honest rather than pussy foot around the truth.

I'm not sure I am *nice*. I do think that nice can often be a sort of front? Like you know that they're not nice 100% of the time but they feel they have to be and it's weird. You can read it in tone etc.

Thinking about it, I'm not nice as such. I'm flawed but working on those flaws. I think that what I am is good enough though. More than. I'm nice to those I care about and like. Those I'm not particularly fond of, I'm not going to try and be nice per se but I am going to show them compassion and try and be kinder to them. They have their own struggles so why add to them?

A woman I know is "nice" to everyone. She goes out of her way to be "nice". It causes problems because people think she's their friend and she isn't.

I think the thing is that genuine niceness isn't forced, non-genuine niceness is obvious

Most of us are ok, very few people are outright nasty.

All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

I am naturally polite and will treat others with kindness if they deserve it. I try to treat others fairly with the notion "treat others as you would have them treat you". This doesn't make me a doormat however, far from it.

Once someone has been blatantly inconsiderate, nasty or disrespectful, they receive only disdain and contempt from me. Once someone falls out of favour with me, very rarely do they get back on my good side.

I’m curious why you think you’re not naturally nice?!

Having a short temper doesn’t make someone not nice?!

Whilst Im not the most personable person I wouldn’t say I’m not nice.....how you treat me will very much depend on how I treat you....if that makes sense?!

Same. Sometimes it's good to just step away and not try to - fixing things might help your conscience but not actually help the other person's (not directed at you Swing or anyone on here for that matter).

No one is 100% nice, everyone has their breaking point

Those that know me, know I’ll give anyone the time of day, listen for hours and everyone gets the benefit of doubt. On the other hand they also know that I will tell them exactly how it is and won’t mince my words. Patience can only last so long when you’ve been asked for advice, give it and they keep doing the same thing over and over, asking the same questions..... you can lead a camel to water but you can’t make it drink !

Those that truly deserve my time get it 100% and they know I’ll do anything for them

However, if you cross me or break my trust I’ll be polite to a point, but you’ll know we are no longer friends. I’m a stubborn one and there is no getting back in my good books as by the the time this happens, they’ve had enough chances.

Everyone loses their way at some point or another and for various reasons. Don’t beat yourself up. Those who know you and are worth a damn know who you are.

Irrespective of this you know who you are and the person you protect is you. We do this in many ways and sometimes we just need to shit off to the demands of others and have a breather.

None of that makes you a not nice person.x

It very much depends on how people are with me...I approach everyone I meet with an open mind and reciprocate the way they behave towards me. To my friends and those I care about, I'm kind, loyal and generous, and will go out of my way to help or just do thoughtful things. However, if someone wants to treat me in a less than pleasant manner they will be met with a complete bitch. And once I've taken a dislike to somebody I won't change my mind.

I don’t think nice is a characteristic that would be used to describe me these days. I was a nice boy when I was younger and in my early teens. I can be kind and generous, empathetic and compassionate but I’m challenging when necessary, I have a dark side that people see from time to time. I can be aggressive in conflict situations and have other less than endearing characteristics.

Those that know me, know I’ll give anyone the time of day, listen for hours and everyone gets the benefit of doubt. On the other hand they also know that I will tell them exactly how it is and won’t mince my words. Patience can only last so long when you’ve been asked for advice, give it and they keep doing the same thing over and over, asking the same questions..... you can lead a camel to water but you can’t make it drink !

Those that truly deserve my time get it 100% and they know I’ll do anything for them

However, if you cross me or break my trust I’ll be polite to a point, but you’ll know we are no longer friends. I’m a stubborn one and there is no getting back in my good books as by the the time this happens, they’ve had enough chances.

I think I'm a little too forgiving, I just wont forget.

You can forgive some things, but never forget as that’s your lesson learnt and you know you need to be cautious with that individual. It’s a tough balancing act. "

Oh yes definitely. And I do just that. As you know!

Agree regarding breaking point. However, do you agree we can work on increasing our resilience?

I'm generally a nice person, and the few genuine people who know me will know that.

But too many times, people take advantage, try manipulate or just see friendship as a throwaway.

So for me it comes down to three categories: keep, discard or manipulate

"There’s already too much nastiness in the world I believe in being nice, treat people the way you want to be treated is my mantra. Don’t confuse this with being weak or a push over though "

There is a tendency in some to associate kindness with weakness. It’s not, it’s actually the opposite. It can take real strength to be kind in this world of ours, just as it takes courage to own your mistakes or forgive the mistakes of others. The negative emotions are easy. Nobody has to try to be hateful. You don’t work at being distrustful or make an effort to be selfish. Kindness, compassion, empathy, these are not easy virtues to keep. It’s why they are rare and valuable. Everybody wants a friend who is kind and compassionate. Nobody wants a friend who is selfish and uncaring... I’m starting to ramble. I’ll stop now

There and to the left a bit

I'm me, take me or leave me, I say things as I see them, and certainly don't go out of my way to be malicious or mean, and if that means people think I'm "nice" then it's a lovely compliment.

When it comes to other people, I try to treat as I find, but do think, at times, I give people too much of a benefit of the doubt though and tend to hold my tongue while doing so, but that only lasts so long until I have to say something - particularly if I disagree with their actions or the way they are - then I'll either tell them exactly what I think or cut them out of my life where I can.

I'm a positive person and constant negativity and doom and gloom tends to grind me down - especially when that person absolutely refuses to drink the water I have led them to.

There is a tendency in some to associate kindness with weakness. It’s not, it’s actually the opposite. It can take real strength to be kind in this world of ours, just as it takes courage to own your mistakes or forgive the mistakes of others. The negative emotions are easy. Nobody has to try to be hateful. You don’t work at being distrustful or make an effort to be selfish. Kindness, compassion, empathy, these are not easy virtues to keep. It’s why they are rare and valuable. Everybody wants a friend who is kind and compassionate. Nobody wants a friend who is selfish and uncaring... I’m starting to ramble. I’ll stop now

Hallelujah! Funny thing is on all the posts, when someone nails it, everyone ignores it lol

I’m used to it lol "

I see you

I kinda agree but disagree at the same time. The words look beautiful the way they're written, however plenty of ppl might use kindness, compassion or empathy as tools for selfish gain or to divide folk or create distrust in others. I see a lot of grey where others maybe see black and white I guess. We're all good and bad combined and shouldn't beat ourselves up over that. Sometimes what could be seen as selfish by others might be a case of who needs you the most, more an issue of where to divert your limited attention. But yes genuine kindness, the selfless kind, is a rare and precious thing to possess and receive

Kindness, compassion and empathy in a woman makes her beautiful inside and outside. It is not a weakness, but raw strength. It takes character and courage!

I just be nice to people to avoid confrontation. But as I get older I find myself having less patience with people.

Fuck em all I say.

Somewhere

I’m a kind person and also empathetic and compassionate. I’ll defend and support family and friends, tolerate rudeness and someone whose inconsiderate to a point but I don’t forgive easily ( It’s something I’m working on).

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” .......

"I dont think anyone would describe me as nice."
