can someone be, genuinely, too nice?

Yes, I believe there are people that are way too nice that sometimes you feel like its not real. I have met few people like that and it is really a blessing to meet those kinds of people. I guess you can feel people who are just trying to be nice. But it really cool that your sister's exboyfriend's family were nice to you.

Well there are people that can be too nice. They let people walk all over them no matter what and just smile about it, and ask for me. Those people confuse me. I guess it is commendable that they have such attitudes and are able to be so nice. I think I was like that at one time, for a minute, but I learned better after a while, that people can take advantage of such behavior. I suppose that we should appreciate such behavior. I mean that attitude is very hard to find in this very cynical world. Unfortunately, we are not the only people who might appreciate this attitude. There are people out there that will take advantage of how nice these people are. While it is great that some people are nice to the point of being too nice, they might be the type that could be subjected to scam and deceit.

Hi Sandra... The data that you've provided here about this nice family isn't sufficient for us (the strangers on the scene) to give a proper judgment about it. I mean, some people are genuinely nice, and it is very rare to find those. Whenever someone tries to be too nice with me, I am alert. Some kind of alarm in my mind starts pinging and I feel that something is wrong here. Yes, there are many people in my life, who're nice... But one becomes TOO NICE then it is something to be considered about... have fun!
