Would you become a nicer person if life was easier?

SW-User Best Comment
I think that any extreme would be bad. Too good can cause a bad spoiled selfish personality, maybe cruel. And too bad bitter, rebel, jealous, envious etc. It all depends on the person. Probably with any of those extremes I wouldn't be nicer anyway.

But if it was easier not to an extreme hehe I would stick to my previous reply.

@SW-User I'm glad that this question can reach out to different interpretations based on each person's experience in life 😄
SW-User
@SW-User thank you for BA
SW-User
@SW-User You're welcome. There's a neutral sense to your answer and I really liked it!

SW-User
Maybe if it was easier I would be self absorbed and selfish, not nicer. Difficulties make us empathetic to others.
SW-User
@SW-User Thank you 🤗 And you're definitely welcome
SW-User
@SW-User I love thoughtful questions
SW-User
@SW-User And I love thoughtful answers such as yours 🤗

No. I am the same no matter how good or bad life treats me.
SW-User
@SweetMae It takes a strong spirit to stay true to oneself like that despite any circumstance 🤗 Kudos to you

@SW-User 🤗 Thank you!

@SweetMae You're welcome Mae 🤗
There are plenty of people who have an easier life and aren’t nicer I don’t think that has much to do with it.
SW-User
@Stark Good point, but there are also people who are less nice because life has never been easy for them
@SW-User Yeah, of course I’ve seen it but I don’t think your circumstances in life should be a good reason or an excuse for you being nicer or not nice. I don’t know, maybe if I had an extremely terrible life I maybe pretty mean and bitter towards people although I don’t think my life is really easy now tbh and I’m too fucking nice at least in person. I’m a lot more passive and friendly. I think it just has to do with personality mainly.
SW-User
@Stark Yeah I think it has to do with personality too, but you see it's not always easy to be nice when life is so messed up to you, especially when you've dealt with so much crap that you don't have the energy to be nice anymore.
I'm a nice person regardless I think. But life has hurt me enough to be less nice, which is kind of bad

@WittyKittyfeelinShitty self-protection
SW-User
@WittyKittyfeelinShitty I can relate to your experience a lot. I'm sorry life's made you become less nice 🙁

🤷‍♀️ I try to be nice in spite of the difficulties of life.
SW-User
@UndeadPrivateer That's great :D So do I but sometimes it's harder to be nice in some situations than others
UndeadPrivateer · 31-35, M
@SW-User Quite true.
SW-User
@UndeadPrivateer But I'm glad you try to nice no matter what 👍
SW-User
A hard life is no excuse to be a bad person.
SW-User
@SW-User But it's understandable how a hard life would make someone less nice
SW-User
Yeah that’s very true. @SW-User
SW-User
No I like how I am, it keeps the nonserious people about wanting to know and love me away from me.
SW-User
@SW-User I appreciate you saying that Alex. Yes it's an unintended side effect
SW-User
@SW-User I've done it myself. Never again though :D
SW-User
@SW-User I doubt you ever meant anything by it you're such a sweetheart
Pseudonym · 26-30, M
Yes. But at the moment, I am working so much that I don't really think about other people (which sounds quite selfish, I know). I'm working a full time job, studying for a degree level qualification, as well as trying to get my own business off the ground. It doesn't leave a lot of room for being nice. Fucking hell, if I thought that all this effort now was going to turn me into a nasty piece of shit once I have enough financial security to relax, I wouldn't be doing it. Nah, I see philanthropy on my horizon. 😌
SW-User
@Pseudonym You seem like a nice person to me alright. I hope you achieve all your goals in life and still maintain kindness with others 😄
Pseudonym · 26-30, M
@SW-User Thank you!
SW-User
@Pseudonym You’re welcome!
Reject · 26-30, M
I don't think so. Difficulty is what keeps me grateful. If things got easier? I'd find a way to make them harder. This way if I'm nice it's not from a place of pity, it's from one of empathy.
SW-User
@Reject Well said, my friend, as usual ☺️
Reject · 26-30, M
@SW-User Thanks Alex! I hope you're taking care of yourself, as usual! 🤗
SW-User
@Reject I am 😁
I try to be nice despite any difficulties I encounter or deal with. It doesn't always work, but I try.
SW-User
@PrivateHell As long as you try, that's what really matters 👍
SW-User
I think my actions would become nicer as i'd have more money and time to proactively do things for people, but i don't think i'd change as a person.
SW-User
@SW-User thanks! and people like you help encourage me 😊

pentacorn · F
i’m already prepared to be nice, never mind the circumstances.
SW-User
@pentacorn Good. I'm glad for you 😊
Life has been so easy and good to me 😳
SW-User
@Dewms I'm glad it has. You deserve it all the way 🤗
@SW-User hugs lanny 💕😗
SW-User
@Dewms 🤗💜 Ayyyy
gmatthewb · 51-55, M
I think most people would. The stresses of the modern world are one thing that makes people be less nice I think. The struggle to try to get ahead doesn't leave time to think about being nice to others. Life was hard years ago, but in general I believe people were nicer to each other.
SW-User
@gmatthewb You had a point. Whether people accept it or not, what has made them who they are today was accumulated in their lives from childhood to adulthood
🤔 Lemme think...
@SW-User
Ehh, it's because I take this place way too serious. I should just enjoy the banter when they talk trash about me. Tsk tsk.
SW-User
@SapphicHeart Haha well that's the spirit
@SW-User 🧐😅
nem16 · 36-40, M
I don't think I would change much to be honest,I am nice to those that are nice to me,and if I'm not,then that person needs to ask themself why.
SW-User
@nem16 Same here
Regardless of how life is going, I always try to be nice .. until given enough reason not to be ..
SW-User
@Stillwaiting Haha I find myself kinda similar. I'm very nice to everyone but if I'm ever an ass to someone, then it must be them lol
@SW-User Exactly
SW-User
Perhaps, perhaps not. I might even be less nice.
SW-User
@SW-User Well, if life was easier and those people couldn't still keep their shit together then you wouldn't be wrong judging them in that manner. That's what I think
SW-User
@SW-User If life was easy for everyone across the board, then maybe. But that's not what I was thinking of.
SW-User
@SW-User I see. Well, just because you have an easier life than people, that doesn't mean you can't be understanding of their circumstances 😃

@JohnDillinger Not necessarily but I know that most bitter-minded people come from really rough backgrounds of life

@JohnDillinger Lol There you have it
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
Im Nice But I do think people were nicer in the old days & life was Easier
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@JohnOinger btw Today is My Birthday😀
SW-User
@JohnOinger I don't think people were nicer in the old days lol. Back then equality was hardly a thing among people of different races and different sexual orientations

@Bacon Lol Nah that's not a definite outcome
SW-User
I’m always nice ..regardless. Realniceone4u 😊
SW-User
@SW-User You're nice. That I believe
SW-User
Really I am . This is all just a wee bit of a facade I do on here for fun and entertainment 😇@SW-User
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
I'd be way less of a cynic, I know that much.
SW-User
@DearAmbellina2113 Yeah life can really influence our mindset since we were kids

SW-User
@SW-User Nope you're not at all 🤗 But would there be anything changed about you if life was easier?
SW-User
Almost certainly.
SW-User
@SW-User Same here. I have to change myself more or less to adapt to the environment that I surround myself with
SW-User
@SW-User
There are a lot of stresses in life, annoyances and pettiness..
If life were easier, nicer, i would be too
SW-User
@SW-User 🤗 Yeah sometimes we gotta ask ourselves if someone really deserves our kindness
Spumoni · 46-50, M
I keep attitude and life separate
SW-User
@Spumoni Fair enough. I highly encourage that idea 👍
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
Probably not
SW-User
@BrattyMel Why not?
BrattyMel · 31-35, F
It’s a part of my charm now lol @SW-User
SW-User
@BrattyMel 😆 I see. You do you, girl
SW-User
SW-User
@SW-User How so?
SW-User
@SW-User I would be able to concentrate less on surviving
SW-User
@SW-User Likewise, my friend, likewise
