Today's question: Is it possible to be too nice?
Re: QOTD - Friday
But now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that's really being "too nice" or if it's more of a lack of assertiveness.
i don't think so. like you said, you can be nice but still assertive.
i wish i was more nice/less of an ***.
lol...me, too!
I don't think it's possible to be too nice, but I do think that it's possible to ignore boundaries when trying to be nice. like people who swoop in to help someone who uses a wheel chair who is struggling on a curb. they are being nice, but ignoring the fact that it's more polite to ask first if the person needs help. or the "helpful" MIL who takes it upon herself to be nice and rearrange your cabinets and pantry without asking. when you leave a person like "uh, that's nice, but you really, really shouldn't have", then it's too nice ;-)
I would argue that the motive behind this is not actually "niceness" and is more likely "this isn't good enough"
yes, it is
