I reckon it's nice being nice if you get what I mean. Like random strangers who say hello or the new friend you just made on a bus. It's funny what common interest can do to complete strangers. I believe it's important to be nice to people because sometimes a simple gesture of kindness can change someones life forever. Imagine one "It's o.k you're not alone" can save a suicidal soul. I've noticed that some people are so cynical and completely hate it when people are nice. Why? What do you think of nice people?

You're right i should have thought twice. I don't really think that way I don't like to assume people are a certain way before hand. Anyway I don't see any harm in posting something like this.

I know their just trying to be nice but you need tact as well.

very true.

When I said nice I meant polite and considerate of others not pedophile nice with free candy and awkward hugs that's completely different. Most children should know better than to mingle with older strangers who act nice. I know some people who are just jerks and act like arses in the most delicate of situations. In other words tactless.

It's odd, a few eeks ago I held the door for a man. he get incredible pissed and asked me if i thought he was to stupid to know how to open a door.


That happened to me once. I guess old some people can't accept their well old. He was probably a rebel in his day.
It's odd, I can start a conversation and be completely nice to people i dont know, but once you tend to know someone it is alot harder.


Very true. I reckon with strangers there is less pressure. Once you're friends there's some sort of obligation.

i don't like too good people because they seem unreal, you can't get away with pranks, you can't laugh without itbeing a fake one, most likely they are boring too


Yes, its not common for people to be nice to others. I just realized many people categorize nice as a stereotype like the goody two shoes do gooder. I'm nice, I pull tons of pranks and laugh till I can barely breathe. I don't think it's fair to stereotype because it's uncommon. It's like people are just pushing the rudeness factor aside because everyone does it. Everyone deserves some level of respect or kindness.

I am usually nice to strangers, unless they do something to annoy me. Than I ***** them out.


I hate annoying strangers. I already have friends that are.

Nice people are great, but they are hard to come by these days.


Yes very true. We do live in a selfish world.

Nice people are people who are nice even if you torture, embarrass or god damn kill them. They just do it because it is what they are so I suggest you put a sock in yur mouth pretend to die and see if someone is nice enough to get the sock out of your freaking mouth.

I never asked who was nice I was asking why some people hate it when others are nice.

That has never occured to me.
Sure, some might not greet back, but some being actually hating towards me, nope.
Might be the culture.

I was in that situation once. I completely avoided the person.She hated me because I took her thunder or something like that being the new kid.

I have observed Asians are more outgoing. I could be wrong.

I like it when people are nice and polite. I almost always look behind me and hold a door open if someone else is walking through it, thats just the way i was raised. I dont understand how people can be so hostile when someody is nice to them, it doesnt make sense to me.
I think the world would be a better place if we were all just a little bit nicer towards each other.

Hmm... The mark of a truly nice person is confidence and humility and perhaps some boldness. It's sometimes awkward to come across someone who is nice but meek. Perhaps it's less awkward to say, "Speak up with confidence."

On the other hand, it's amusing when nice people almost cancel each other out. "You first." "Here, have a seat." "No, no. You can go." "Oh, no. You can sit. I have to get off soon." Then there's the left-right mirror dance before resolution.

What the world needs now...

I like nice people, they're the sunshine of my cloudy day ^~^

I'm not one of those nice people.
Most of the time, at least, it's like a light switch honestly, light, dark, light, dark, light, dark, light...recently the bulb went out.

Ah, to be nice
But it comes at a price
For too much goes wrong against you

But to be hateful
Around the ungrateful
Will rush you into the blue hue

So balance must be had
Stern, but not bad
Hence power and respect shall befriend you
