i am not the kindest of person but i do like to be good to people . i would admit that it is hard for me to smile towards people who does not seem to like me but i know some nice people who can still smile towards those people who don't like them. But I am not ready to talk to those who don't accept me I can't greet them or look at them. although i don't in a any way try to snob them or try to make them feel that i hate them. it is just that i don't think i can reach out to those kind of people. i easily get offended when people just take for granted the good things i would show them.

Sometimes it is hard to smile at those who hate us or don't accept us. In school we are taught that it is important to have a social life, but how can you when no one will accept you, or when people treat you badly? I don't blame you for not being able to greet people who seem to want nothing to do with you. I cannot blame them either really for reasons that I do not know why they do these things. I'll tell you something that happened to me several months ago. I was at work and there was a lady there, extremely rude, grumpy, the whole nine yards. She ranted and raved about the way I bagged her items and handed her receipt, particularly about her receipt. When I offered to fix it for her, she snapped at me, and said, "Don't you take take that receipt!" So I accepted her response with a simple nod and an okay, and it was then that she proceeded to give me a deadly glare and call me the b-word. I simply smiled kindly at her, and wished her a good day. She had no response after that, only just gave me a dirty look, and then stormed out of the store. My next customer who had witnessed everything was quite annoyed with the way I was treated, and how the first customer had acted. She asked me why I didn't get angry with being treated so horribly. I told her that it is much better to get even by showing extreme kindness to someone like that. Because then they don't know what to think about that kindness. Basically I took control of the situation, and the first lady did not like it. Her idea was to make me rant and argue with her. But because I did not give into that, she became angrier and left the store. I have not seen her shopping at the store since then.

That's very nice my friend. You are very great. I also want to be like that. But it's not possible all the time.
