Do you think that you treat people well?

Even when you are at odds with them or simply dislike them?

I try very hard to always be kind and polite and treat folks with respect. It’s something I think about a lot. Probably because I grew up with someone who regularly thought folks were out to get her and treated most people (even friends and family) like shit. Even if I see a stranger being rude to say a clerk or food service person, I’m tempted to tell them to cut it out. I have on a few occasions. That behavior really burns my bagel.

That said, I’m no pushover. If you’re actively messing with me, I will fuck you up verbally.

Mostly. Unless they don’t see what’s wrong with Disney Star Wars, or prefer corporate profits to a healthy environment, or something else heinous.

I try. I try to be like Auggie. I want to be one of those people who sees the good in everyone.

Usually.

If I’m really at odds with them I’m more likely to avoid or ignore them than be mean to them. Although, indifference is mean in a way. It really depends on the thing and the situation.

I’m not a grudge holder, and generally I don’t care if I have a difference of opinion, so there isn’t many instances where I need to overcome emotions to be nice.

Yes. I do. I tend to avoid people whom I don’t like but I generally treat people well. I very much enjoy casual pleasant interchanges with strangers through the day.

I have been told I do, my personality IRL is very different than it is here. I know I have rubbed people the wrong way here but again, I’m not here to make friends.

I prefer to walk away then get into a verbal fight if I can help it.
Best to turn the other cheek and keep waling away from those that are mean spirited and I stay away from them too.
It is them showing the bad side , so its a warning that it won’t get any better soon, so I don’t go around or communicate with them anymore..its great as it weeds out the negative ones.

I do, always. This is why I excel in customer service.

Don’t let my internet persona fool you.

The day after the Mueller testimony.. Total witch hunt. I was at Lowes with with my sister buying lumber. There was a lady in flag “mc hammer” pants and a trump tee-shirt and hat. It is Lowes so there was one cashier and we had so many wobbly roller things of 2X4’s and other supplies.

It was going to take 30 minutes to ring us up. So Trump lady just had a can of paint and asked to cut in line.. My sister, who has sleeves, and tats on her feet leaned over and said, “Fuck off cunt”.

I am beyond trying to reason with backwash.

But when I eat out I tip around 50%. So there is that.

I try to be nice to everyone. If someone is mean or abrasive, I will do my best to avoid them. If they persist, I will say something to them if it’s something that involves me. If it doesn’t involve me, I will try to stay out of it unless they’re bullying someone.

From what I gather from responses being nice isn’t easy. wth? This is why I hate the internet.

:(

Being nice is easy.. But it goes both ways.

The times in my life I’ve been unkind to people without reason can be counted on the fingers of one hand, as can the times it was with reason.

I’m kind to every and all person I meet and know.
It’s free.

Well today I went to Wal-Mart. As I started across the parking lot I heard a lady, who had just unloaded her cart, holler “You want my cart?”
I said “Sure!” And took it off her hands.
But I parked it inside the entrance because I didn’t really need it. It saved her a trip to a cart corral.

^^ Well, you’re just a flipping peach then, ain’t ya?

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I know I’m not @cookieman. But I try not to be a total bitch.

raum's avatar

When people offer me their shopping carts, I’m like “Fuck you. Take your damn cart back to the corral yourself, you lazy prick.”~

cookieman's avatar

@Dutchess_III: I’m teasing. That was very nice of you.

PaisleyFaye's avatar

I think I do for the most part, I’m quick to put the needs of others before my own, I do things out of the kindness of my heart, kinda scary because there are many people that use that to their advantage, so I also listen to my gut to retract from those I get bad vibes from. But then they say that I’m being mean! Ill take that if it keeps me safe!!
