Is It Me? or Does It Not Pay To Be Nice To People?

[JasonSJackson]

Most people's "niceness" is just being phoney or weak and they end up getting screwed over because of it.

Example, you're walking down the hall at "work" or wherever and as you make eye contact with a passing stranger you flash a fake smile and/or say some fake shyt like "how are you doing?" (a question most people typically could care less about the person they ask the question to) or say some other dumb shyt because you're under the impression that that is the pleasant thing to do when walking past a stranger. It's not tho, it fake.

If you don't give a fukk how someone is doing, why are you asking? And if you aren't asking to really find out how they are doing why the fukk are you asking? There is nothing wrong with making eye contact with a person and just keeping it moving. The problem is most people in this society equate fake shyt with some sort of social correctness when it's anything but.

Just be geniune to people and you wont go wrong.

It's true, that's why I been mean-mugging nikkas since I was a kid

Used to be somewhat nice to people, but then relaxed on that and was more selective in my choices.

Now, I treat potential dikkheads with the stern face; giving them no option for a$$hole tendencies and keep on

It ain't just you. Being nice makes me feel good. If it didn't, I wouldn't do it because motherfukkers sure ain't nice to me

These days even when you are usually nice and always around to help people, when youre down on luck or in need of assistance there are very few people who will be there for you.

You gotta be nice for yourself not for others haha. If you're worrying about others when being nice, you're probably not nice.

I don't think it pays to be nice but that doesn't mean you have to be an a$$hole. Do things because you want to but remember that it's ok to say no.

You can be nice and assertive and not show weakness. It takes practice, but once you get a feel for it, people will know not to take advantage of you. You gotta have a little a$$hole edge, but not in a condescending, prickish way...just in your speech let people know you will not be taken advantage of
