i'm too nice.

a bloody nice person.People sometimes say I am too bloody nice.

but sometimes people interpret my insults, sarcasm and general cold-heartedness in a negative way

But actually no.

with how nice I am, and can be.

And then sometimes, I surprise myself at just how much of a cunt I really am.

So, in conclusion: I'm not sure.

Good use of obsequious there though mon amie.

i guess so, most of the time. but i can be horrid too.

i guess that's a 'no' then

I'll quite often go out of my way for people I know and am usually friendly to people I don't. As far as I know very few people dislike me.

I can be an arsehole but I'm not habitually. Is that a good enough answer?

i'm pretty selfcentred so i guess no

I'm nice, but I'm sometimes not very friendly.

I'm trustworthy.

I can be rude, but I wouldn't say it was ever out of spite.

but on the Facebook compare people thing (that amazingly reliable source) I have been voted nicest.
I don't know if that means anything... But yeah, I think I'm okay.
I'd LOVE to be really friendly and welcoming and outgoing, but I don't think I am.

and YOU Chloe are one of the loveliest people ever, so be quiet.
:D
Also, is there a difference between being 'nice' and being 'kind'? Because I don't think I'm at all mean-spirited, but at the same time I don't think I all smiley-smiley, "HEEEY!!!!!!", tell people I love them all the time-type nice either.

what it means to be nice.

Almost everyone, I imagine, cares more about themselves and their immediate family than other people.

Also, I would imaginie that almost everyone cares about other people to some extent, and would prefer that they were not hurt.

So, if being nice means always putting others before yourself then, I imagine, very few people are "nice".

If nice means caring about other people a bit then I imagine a lot of people could be called "nice".

If nice means making a conscious effort to avoid hurting other people all or most of the time then the answer probably lies somewhere in between the two.

Not me, so much as people in general. I myself and generally well-meaning, with flashes of selfishness or maliciousness just like most people, although I think I'm less 'nice' than I was a while ago having been fucked over quite badly a few times. My confidence in whether or not most people are worth being 'nice' to has been shaken, so I'm probably much less giving than I was.

Anyway, I think that many people are superficially nice, or seem like nice people on the surface. But I think it's very difficult to really know what lies in someone's heart. You only ever see flashes of it at very unusual moments, be they important or relatively mundane. I have been shocked and chilled by how utterly nihilistic and self-centred people I thought I knew can be. Really. Disgusted, even, by the lack of care and empathy that some people have nestling inside their personality. On the other side of it, I've been amazed by the lengths to which some people will go to do something that really doesn't directly benefit them that much, or the way in which some people put a huge amount of care into the people around them on many levels.

So - people who seem 'nice' can be an absolute snake inside, and vice-versa. You can never tell until you know someone really well.

I'm very rarely rude or aggressive to anyone, I tend to be fairly quiet and not annoy people much. And at the same time, I think I can be a pretty horrible person a lot of the time.

although i'm constantly unsure about how to enact it for fear of being creepy or annoying, which generally tends to be the outcome.

Is it possible to be a precise person?

I doesn't take much effort to engage people in conversation and be generally pleasant whilst you're evaluating whether or not they're worth further attention.

but try and be as helpful as possible, I recently drove 12 miles at 3am to bring a kebab to a hungry friend, nice or idiotic im not sure.

you're clearly nice.

nice.
keep saying it. nice nice nice. its now meaningless.

I mean, you know all your secrets and thoughts that you'd rather not share with other people

I've always kinda thought that I'm not really that much of a nice person. Obviously I'm super nice to my friends, and that comes naturally. But I'm quite judgemental and often unwilling to change my opinion on people, which I guess makes me a bit of a shit

Sometimes I'm too nice, and let people walk all over me. People have also said that about me.

I don't like upsetting others for my own benefit, as I just feel like a tool afterwards. If I have to do something that someone else might not like, to make myself happy, then I generally wouldn't do it.

Is that being "nice"? Or is it just being spineless?

and now i don't.

I mean, I'll carry suitcases up stairs for old people and stop to see if people are okay if they fall over in the street, etc, and i would never piss on someone who had collapsed, shouting "THIS IS YOUTUBE MATERIAL!"

But, really, that goes without saying and is far far outweighed by all the horrible things i say and do.

I try to be nice but limitations to my confidence and personality can stop me.

I try but I do enjoy shadenfreude (or however the Germanians spell it) so I guess that makes me not very nice.

similarly, i can be an absolute bitch.

90% of people don't.
point in question: i just had a go at my new landlords because i didn't like them referring to me as being in "arrears" when the error wasn't my fault. the woman was being perfectly polite about it, i just didn't appreciate it.

i lessthanthree you lots.

anyway to the point of the thread.
most people are 'nice' to their friends, well everyone who is a real friend is nice to thier real friends (if that makes any sense?!)
but not so many people are nice and considerate and caring of EVERYONES feelings.

what makes someone a truly nice person, is them being nice regardless of whether they know/like someone or not.

i've experienced real nastiness from people in real life, and on this here board, from people who have many friends who would call them a nice person but they aren't really see because they are only nice to the people it benefits them to be nice too.

i truly believe i am a 'nice' person, much as i hate the word.
i genuinely care about people, even poeple who have been dicks to me, i refrain from being a dick back, because i worry i might say something that really hits a sore spot. i've bit my tongues in many situations where i have felt someone really deserves me telling them whats really what. im not claiming im a martyr or perfect in any way.
i admit my faults, im lazy and hedonistic and etc etc but im glad i can honestly say i believe im a 'nice' person. i, like everyone can be selfish, it's human nature to look after 'number one' but a good person is one who trys to repress their selfish urges and think of others too.
