How would you define a genuinely nice person?

They take the time to help. It's one thing to be cordial or polite or out-going, but to actually invest their time and energy when it doesn't benefit them at all, that's someone you can trust.

Sometimes the nicest people can have prickly personalities. Actions speak louder than words

Spot on.
Kindness isn't flattery or compliments. It runs much deeper than that, with me. Accepting our humanness and it's failures which are not some perfect idealism is part of it.

Someone with a kind and forgiving heart. Is honest and genuine.

Nice is when someone wants something from you. Kind is when someone doesn’t need anything in return to appreciate you.

👍💯

Well said

Person who has the ability to be honest ,kind ,understanding ..who can accept genuine mistakes admit to his her own mistakes....be bitter when he should to protect a friend from any harm..

Alright.

On who likes daal-roti to death yet when there are 2 hungry fellows approaching, the nice person leaves the plate for them and vanish away.

Genuinely nice tends to be subjective because usually a person's kindness is related to which social circles they consider people to be in.

Most people are genuinely nice to family and close friends. These are groups of people that we are generally willing to spend more effort upon to ensure their health and happiness.

As you get further away from those circles, people generally are spending less effort taking care of you. Partially because you are not as close and partially because those circles are larger and people lack the energy to spend the same amount on everyone.

When we look at people and consider them kind or genuinely nice, we are usually looking at how many circles out they are casting their willingness to spend energy and effort on people. The more circles out, the more people tend to consider them nice.
