Love self-esteem does that to you. Realize that you are as important as everyone else. Also, if you get judgemental thoughts about other people, then that's because you need some personal insight. Try meditation, philosophy and religion. Your post really didn't warrant such a serious response...I get it
I'm nice, polite, and helpful. However, I can be mean, crude, and blunt. I can't always be nice, just most of the time.
I like to think of myself as a nice person, but I couldn't click yes knowing all of the bad things that I have done. Rather than Black or White, I'm definitely in the grey.
I like to consider others in everything I do. I follow a utilitarian perspective and try to spread happiness. At times though, I can be a major asshole if I'm crossed.
I'd say I am nice in that I try to avoid conflict. It takes up too much fo my time and energy and I have better things to worry about than who is angry at who and what not. I like to keep the peace.
However, I am afraid to give up my material possessions (money, etc.). I grew up kind of poor and have a perpetual fear of doing without again, so I scrooge constantly.
Not really, most people I come into contact with end up pissing me off to one extent or another.
Some are too fat, some are too stupid, some are too vain, some are too shallow, some are too competitive, etc....
If your not nice to me dont expect me to be nice to you thats how i am...
I am nice, kind of. I act really polite to people I don't know and somewhat around people I do know.
I'm really egotistical and elitist though.
No. Nobody is innately nice.
They might have compassion which they may or may not act on, but no human being is born "nice".
As far as I'm concerned, nice just means fake.
You're really brainfucking you're self on this. Good luck getting a friend in life or even having a decent life. I guess I'm just normal by generally wanting to be nice and not treat others like crap. Personally, I think treating others like crap is more selfish than being nice because you're only acting for yourself and not to help in anyway those other people. Maybe tomorrow I'll try this out, when my son asks me for something to eat I'll tell him to make it himself because I'm not selfish. LOL What bullshit!
"Good luck getting a friend in life". I counteract that statement by informing you that I don't want or need friends. I have a decent life without having any relationship with anyone.
"When my son asks me for something to eat, I'll tell him to make it himself." You SHOULD tell him to make it himself. How else is he going to learn to be self-sufficient, unless you're one of those coddling breeders who can't find a reason for existence other than being a parent.
It's still fake. Think about it. Even if you love someone and want to be nice to them, you STILL expect something back. You want them to like you, or think fondly of you, or you want them to thank you. No matter how small the reason, being nice to anyone, even if you love them, it's always selfish. People are selfish and fake. That's just how it is.
Once you reach a certain age and maturity you begin to realize being nice is less about individual satisfaction and more about community. Do you want, you and your children to live a decent life with others or not? Also, I didn't know it was selfish to help someone or to be nice to them. Isn't that the exact opposite definition of selfish? I think you're way out of context on this. I could take it even further and say, well isn't it selfish to start my own business and try to get money from people? Or isn't it selfish that my nurse had to bring me my cancer medication because I bet she is expecting something from me in return.
Actions are 100% selfish, very true. Still don't get how it is fake though. People have done things for me without expecting anything back and vice versa.
Maybe you surround yourself with the wrong people in life.
I actually feel awkward if someone does something for me. I'm terrible at feeling good about accepting something from someone. Even compliments and appreciation make me uncomfortable in many situations. If someone praises me I'll try my best to shrug it off. However, I love to give. I love how happy I am able to make people.
My birthday makes me uncomfortable and I only enjoy Christmas if I have gifts to give. Otherwise I feel like a piece of stale "doggy-no-noes"(as my sister used to say)
So I guess I selfishly want to see people around me happy... But I think that is an oxymoron.
im usually nice but there are times when i just don't see the point and times when im in the mood to be even nicer.
No... i mean i try but people get offended by my honesty, well i dont really try
I don't know. I've heard some say I'm the nicest person ever, but have no idea why, not like I hand out compliments or anything.
I am nice most of the time but i can be a douche too but no one is 100% nice or perfect.
depends on who you talk to.
i'm blunt sometimes which rubs thin egos the wrong way, but that's not specifically "mean"... ;-)
I always try to be as nice as possible, even with people I don't like. But I'm only human, so I do some pretty mean stuff when I'm mad that I'm not proud of.
I couldn't answer yes, either. I know I've done some rather shitty things in the past. But I try to make up for it when I can.
Hell yes, this week I shared an umbrella with a fellow senior and walked a schizo to her house. What's also nice is that I know where to draw the line.
