Too Nice for Your Own Good?
Here are 5 reasons why you shouldn’t be.
Having a shortcoming pointed out is never comfortable in the best of times but being accused of being too nice for your own good always stings a little more. I should know. I believe every one of us is a bit of a people pleaser in varying degrees. And when someone says you are too nice it is not really a compliment. It is a sign that you need to take action to make some behavioral changes.
Sometimes being too nice is dangerous, you have to show your mean side once in a while to avoid getting hurt.
I personally believe that a genuinely nice person is a blessing to those that come in contact with them. It is a great quality — especially when we think of the spite and hate that seems predominant in the world today. We have access to a stream of bad news — and people are bent on establishing what they believe in and proving themselves right to the point that they don’t even mind it if violence is involved. The end, it seems, justifies the means.
In such a world, we can definitely use some kindness. Life would be better if there were more kind-hearted people among us. Right?
Right.
