Is something wrong with being nice to each other?

What if you were nice to me first?

What if I was nice to you first?

Either way, we'd be being nice. We don't have to be friends or make out. We can just be nice.

I'm tired of being nice too. When people aren't nice back. It can be draining. I don't make as much effort as I want to and sometimes I don't have it in me to be nice first.

But I've started looking at people differently. A second to think on if they're having a shit day, if they're holding back tears, if they're in pain, I don't know they're a person just like me. Deserving of kindness.

I try staying nice to people for the reason @caPnAhab mentioned. Someone could be having a bad day & your kindness could change their attitude without them even noticing.. then they might pass that on to the next person. Just the same as rudeness can make them walk away & pass that to someone else too.

Spreading negativity doesn't help anybody or make anybody's day easier. Not even your own. That person you were rude to, might go home & yell at their wife. I'd rather be kind so people will be more likely to go home & give love
@ChiefJustWalks Kindness definitely counts. In big or small ways. Thanks for spreading good stuff

I always choose kindness to strangers I encounter if I'm approached or encounter them neutrally or better. If they engage with me negatively it's different but it's more natural and enjoyable for me to choose kindness. With all of that being said, if I hold the door long enough can we make out? 😂
Kindness is more genuine. I feel that nice is basically being agreeable and pleasing in a superficial way. Whereas, kindness is more about authenticity, mercy, grace and service. Kindness stems from empathy and understanding💛

I think someone could be having a super shit day but just one small act of kindness can fix it a lot more than a bad thing can ruin a good day

It's hard to take the initiative sometimes. I'm not a people person, so I really have to try to be nice. I try a lot too
@caPnAhab don't lose that. You are awesome and you change people even for a moment at a time, you make the world a better place.

Whenever there is beauty, kindness, or the recognition of the goodness in my life; I look for ways to share that love.......even in the simplest ways.
I find it hard when it's not reciprocated, it makes me check out for a while
@MicrowaveDinner yeah, I don't think we need to be "love and light" all the time. Sometimes people do need to be left alone. Especially if you deal with it a lot.

You just never know what others are going through... And it's not that hard to give people a second chance
@Convivial Absolutely. We all need it

@ScreamingFox compassion seems to be an outdated concept...
I promise if you talk to me I can be nice for at least 4 months. 4 month warranty ain't bad. 🥹
