Trying to be.

TBird, define "nice person", please.

It's open to interpretation...

I like to think I'm a nice person. However I also keep in mind that "nice guys finish last"

My girl always talks about some old tale, "If you give a moose a muffin"

I've never heard it but she says it basically means, if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile.

Sometimes you just have to let people know that you aren't gonna let them walk all over you.

The man who stands for nothing falls for everything.

eh, I won't lie.

you lost me at dichotomy.

hahaha

I'm a nice guy, but it's important to set people straight the split second they step out of line.

I'm trying to work on it...But I tend to draw a line in the sand and people are either on my side of the line or they're not. If you're on my side, I'm probably nice, if you're not on my side, I'm probably not so nice. But I am making an effort to be nicer to everyone, but changing a personality trait isn't always easy.

I think most of us try to be nice guys, or like to think of ourselves that way, but whether we are or not is up to others to determine for themselves. I'm sure many here would view me as a nice guy, and others wouldn't . . . of course, the latter group is composed of idiots.

I am honest and I mind my own business. Am I nice? No. Not in the least. That doesn't mean I will go out of my way to hurt someone, but if people want candy dripped in syrup levels of empathy, I'm definitely not who they want to talk to.

I try to help and nurture people and help them achieve the best they can be,some people say thats nice but I say thats life.
Best wishes

I am fabulous, flirty and fun, as long as you do it my way.

I don't consider myself as a nice person. It's a fact.

The problem is, people around me tell me that I am, which is their opinion.

Thank God people like that exist.

I try to find a happy balance between nice and serious, without being rude.

Trying to be.

Yep I am nice to people I like, but wouldn't wanna be the person who has hurt somebody I care about hehe

yes i am a nice person as i am too good

I think that i am a nice person.
:p one weird and nice person i would say

I am nice-ish. But once I'm friends with you, I could be a real pain in the ass.

""Be nice until it's time to not be nice."

-Patrick Swayze in Road House, one of my favorite B flicks.

We all have our own definition of being a "nice person". We could think that we are a nice person but sometimes tend to hurt someone unaware.

But see? Almost all of us are trying to be nice...Though the truth is, we still have our own weaknesses that totally oppose the characteristic of being "nice".

Good thing about it, is that we are trying to be the nicest we could be..That's a very cool truth..."be nice, for everyone we meet is fighting in a hard battle"

I actually appreciate the bluntness. To me, a blunt person is someone I'd like to work with, but the world doesnt work that way. Nice people can only be nice up to a certain point, theeeeeeen....

I'm trying to.. Depends on my mood.

I try to be, I don't think that if you speak out on matters or talk harsh to someone you are not nice. no one is perfect. Once the good out ways the bad i think one can consider them self as a nice person

yep....I'm nice...till someone steps on my toes. Then watch out.

I think everybody has their own moral meter, and everybody usually can pick up something negative about themselves, but to be considered nice that would be an accolade someone else would have to give

I'd like to think so.

I try my best to be good to those around me and help everyone I can.

I wouldn't say I'm the best person in the world, but no matter the situation, I always look at the bright side and try to make others feel better about themselves.

Also, whoever that dude is.. he doesn't seem like a nice guy lol.

Trying to be.

I think i am

I think if you say I'm a nice person than it kinda shows a sense of pride and deep insecurity deep down. You don't need to tell everyone that your nice. You just act that way and people notice it and thats that. Its like saying "i'm really humble". By saying that your not humble.

Donating to charity - balances out karma - and gives me piece of mind. Because lets face it - somebody is always going to be offended, or misunderstand what you say, etc..

I think so.. Hahahaha! =)

every one think them self as nice person here.... Funny ha...haa

I think so, I may not be that super nice but as what I know I don't have enemies. Lol

Yes yes yes....i am a nice person...be my friend

It's good to be a nice person but at the same time you have to set boundaries and limits so people do not walk over you. Being firm and flexible is the best option for retaining relationships with friends, business contacts or loved ones.

i try to be

I am nice to those persons who are nice to me too, usually I do the adjusting, I'm not saying that I'm plastic or something like that, its just that "when in Rome do what the Romans do".

[DELETED]

I wish I was as nice as Dennis Gaskil or Bruce Ruby.

I am on my way to be a nice one, even it is bumpy.

[DELETED]

I like to be nice and polite. I treat people the way I'd like to be treated. If someone is rude to me, watch out though lol

I have no idea...I never try to be "nice" or "jerk"...

...I'm just "me", as hard as I can be.

What others think about that? Not something that keeps me up at night.

No body is perfect but i think i am a nice person ...

I try to be but mean people make you do mean things to them

I'm bloody lovely I am!!!

I think I am a nice person but I do have a dark side - yeah I'll laugh when someone falls over (once I know they're okay of course). If I ever find myself saying something bad about someone then I try say something nice afterwards, example: A woman walking past hanging out of her clothes which are 3x smaller than she is and too much make up! I will then say, well it's her choice, it doesn't affect me (or she had nice shoes).

I used to let people take the p*ss a bit as I would bend over backwards to do anything for my friends, I still do but if someone takes advantage I take a step back! I don't hold a grudge, no point in that -it only affects me!

It feels nice to be nice

I'm a nice people who understand that life is too short and that there is no time to hate on people.

Nice person.... I suppose. To me at this point in my life it is important to give a helping hand if I can, smile a little more often, give a good word.. I realize that I am one of the most imperfect people around... but a SINCERE "I'm sorry" or "I was wrong" goes a long way, or is a place to start.

I've been told so.

i think i am nice and i try to attrect positive people around me. if you want to have succes yourself the only way of getting it is to help other people achieve their goals and dont be greedy.

i tried it once, hope for your sake its not contagious

I think I am...

I have been told that I am really nice. I try to be virtuous. Is "mensch" the word that you are looking for?

I probably said this last year when the thread was NEW - but no. I'm not nice. I'm not even nice enough to care that I'm not nice. Nice is not on my sheet of major life goals, either, so I'm thinking the best people who get around me can hope for is calm and apathetic.

There is no such thing as a nice person, in the same way as there is no such thing as a normal person

As like as me. Because I'm a nice person.

I just try to leave people better than I found them... probably not always nice though

I'm nice.Nature told me you are really nice.

u can only know that u're nice when ppl tell u u're nice..but what if the ppl around u r not nice themselves n they dnt tell u u're nice when u're actually really nice, then how would you know you're nice? lol..jk :p

Upon first impression, without a doubt, yes.

Once you get to know me, you will find out that I have an interesting brand of sarcastic humor that is not everyone's cup of tea.

I mean no harm and I don't know any friends, to my knowledge, I have lost over it.

I truly try to treat everyone human with a certain level of respect.

Even, if I am double crossed, my first inclination is to take the high road.

Second time around, all bets are off, you get more than what you bargained for and I will pay for all of your medical.

We can all be a nice person. But it also depends on the situation and the people around us

I've noticed that with some people
nice = sucker, easy to rip-off
nice = naive or dimwitted

For me
nice = strong and adaptable personality, able to weather life's challenges without becoming nasty and rancid.

I like to think I am, but in the same time I know I could be also a class A S.O.B. , it all depends from the situation.

[DELETED]

Well im a nice guy who like nasty stuff.
Or maybe im normal. Anyway, im not bad, i cant tell you that!

Absolute complete non-sense.

END..as in what? Next week? Month year? What about on your death bed or at night when you look at your-self in the mirror? The huge problem online is the sheer amount of lying that is almost accepted these days.

In the long run if you aren't a"nice person" you will not gain anything.

Being a nice person doesn't mean not being focused no business, being tough, driven, disciplined, etc...To me it means being fair and honest. And sadly I do not know many people like that. On the Net it's about 1:10,000

You comment was absolutely way off the mark. Find your-self before it's too late!

how sad that is.You seem to have given up on life. Are you depressed?

I've found that being nice just makes things a lot easier. Whether you're dealing with the frontdesk staff at a hotel, the teller at a bank, cashier at a store... It's a lot easier to resolve things in a nice way I've found, when there's an issue, and there are often a lot less issues when you're easy to deal with.

Nice doesn't mean being a pushover and giving in, to me it's just a way to approach any situation. You can avoid a lot of misunderstandings by communicating effectively, rather than trying to step over somebody.
