5 moIt depends. It depends on how you feel about it or how it's impacting you. I feel there is nothing wrong to be bad person too sometimes if you feel there is right reason.
One teacher of my high school use to tell us, it's better to show fangs sometimes even if you are weak you are scared or you are not going to hurt them, to protect ourselves.
And my grandfather says " it's the straight trees that gets cut down first".
We all have rights to protect ourselves and we should wherever we feel the need. Being nice person should not be exhausting for us too. Draining our whole energy. And sometimes it's ok to be true to be ourselves and not being nice if we don't want to be.
I be nice to others because I struggle differentiating between people who are evil and nice one, so generally I feel like at heart at least i would be satisfied at last that I did my best. But once I know them i act as i should to protect myself.11 Reply- 5 mo

5 moIf there are no more conditions, I don't think it's inherently good to be nice.
When you look into the origin of a word (origins matter), you'll see that "nice" came from words meaning "not knowing," "ignorant," and "stupid." And while the word nice isn't often used to mean those things anymore, it seems to prove true shockingly often (at least in my experience).
So for that reason, I'd say no, it's not a good thing to be a nice person.
I do believe it's great to be a kind person, though.

5 moYes but with wisdom. Being nice to the wrong people or too nice attracts evil people into your life if you aren't careful.

Because we know we're never gonna get that time back or the money bag or whatever it was that we helped with
So we do it from our hearts, it's because that's who we are and we like being ourselves we like being real. And it's seems no matter how many times this happens to us. You would think we would learn our lesson
And the truth of the matter is we do learn our lesson but we also want to believe in people. We do it because we just want one person to follow through with there word.
With some people we know it will never happen. So now we only help people who it's a 50/50 chance it works out
Lol some how some way it always works out some day
All I can say to that is THANK YOU GOD !10 Reply887 opinions shared on Other topic. Yes, only if you are being treated nicely in return , because unfortunately being too nice can backfire on you , when you encounter an asshole that tries to take advantage of you and take you for granted , Sadly some nice people realize this after they been burned to many times , it doesn’t make you a bad person , it just makes you wiser when it comes to certain people

That's so true! So I guess it's time for me to start being a bitch to save myself from getting hurt! 🤕 Right? - 5 mo
@Finchie40
Ya know... back in 1993 I recall this guy who I was seriously dating (I was his girlfriend) once said to me "You're just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside."
So what has changed? I'm still the same person I have always been, nice and kind to people, except now a lot of people thinks it gives them permission to steal almost all of my belongings and lie to me.
Frickin people have changed!! They didn't think that way then like they do now.
Those people wear masks and make me believe they are my friend then they turn around and steal from me and lie to me.
I'm over it!!! I'm not going to be so damn nice to people who come into my home anymore but I will be nice here on GaG. - 5 mo
LOL I don’t blame you , I’m sorry to hear that happened to you , unfortunately I had similar experiences like you when it came to me being too nice and trusting , people that I thought were my friends’ turned out not to be friends’. So it’s now harder for people to gain my full respect , I am still nice to people but I don’t let
My guard down , and I am now pretty good at spotting out assholes from a mile away - 5 mo
@Finchie40
I used to be able to tell if someone didn't look at me in my eyes 👀 when they were talking to me but now people will look at me square in my eyes and lie their frickin arse off to me.
I'm Soooo done with it!
1.4K opinions shared on Other topic. Not necessarily. If you have to lead, you need to be sometimes cruel and offensive. However if it's justified no one will complain about your choices in leading position. In term of 3 personality stages (child, adult, parent) people accept your dominance if they are convinced it serves their interest too.
Among friends is being a nice person something that doesn't cost anything but can improve your status as trustworthy person other want spend time with. You just need to be credible and knowing always game rules, even if a game is completely new to you.00 ReplyIt is nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

That's exactly the reason that I asked this question ⁉️
It can backfire on you in a big way!!
Some people view nice people as weak and take advantage of them.
On the other hand, I have always been nice because that's what I was taught since I was a little girl. 🤷🏼♀️
I like being a nice person and it's good to be
However sometimes you have to be the bad guy and show that
Also good to experience being bad in a way
