being nice to someone who is not nice to you

I would surely be a millionaire today if I had a penny for everytime I was nice to someone who was not nice to me. I have always been ready to give anyone or chance or the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes I have gotten hurt by this. Sometimes it has opened new doors. Being nice to someone is not a sign of weakness. It is strength.

Sometimes I can be nice to someone who is mean to me, but only to a point. I try to not surround myself with people who take advantage of kindness. It frustrates me that people do that - take and take and never give back.

yeah that is silly. she need to learn its cool to be nice, but dont allow people walk all over her. my b/f was the sameway when we first met, he would allow people to walk all over him, and treat him like crap but once he got hanging out with me, i told him its cool you are nice, but people are taking advanage of you and walking over you. need to knock that crap out. when he started then he heard i was bad influance on him, he shouldnt hang out with me. and we're still friends today and he dont take crap off no one. myself i just cut ties and tell them stay away from me. if i see them i will say if they say hi. but i could careless

i think people like her really needed by the world. i think there are number of things which must be kept in the mind. i think world is too dirty but still we like to be here. why. i think some good people are still here due to whom we are also happy to be here with them.

It is really hard to be nice to a person that is not the nicest person to me. I mean, they are not making an effort, so it is hard for me to make that effort. If some people can do this, then I salute them. This is one of the hardest things in the world to do. To know that there is hardly anything that you can do to get these people to like you and still be nice, that is something that I do not think that I ever do. With that in mind, there are times where I have to tolerate those people. I am not about to be too nice to them, but I have to be sociable enough to get by. There are a lot of people in this world that I have to coexist from and would rather not have to do that. It is just a part of life and one that I have just accepted. Do not have to like it but I do in fact accept it.

There needs to be balance within every person. A person cannot always give and give or always take and take. Sometimes people are just too nice. I don't see how your friend is "insensitive" for being too nice. Do you mean she lacks sense? I think she is sensitive to other people which is why she helps everyone she meets. The problem with being too nice is people tend to take advantage and walk all over the nice people. I'm happy that there are truly kind people like your friend. Too bad not everyone is kind like that, oh such a utopia would be nice but possibly boring. Hehe. =)

That is a very difficult thing to do but I can actually do it. I can be plastic to this person especially if I dont like him or her. I dont want them to know that I dont like them especially if they are not nice to me. What makes matters worst is that they become nice to you if the needed something but if they dont need something anymore and they are not nice again. Weirdos I should call them.
