I'm nice to those that are nice to me. I suspect most people are like that.

Answer 11

I am the nicest person i ever met..so anyone i meet had better be nice or else he/she has no chance whatsoever and is cut out of my life...i dont have time for time-wasters and the negatively disposed so i mostly surround myself with equally nice people...so its a two-way street, if THEY are nice they attract me and if I am nice, they will feel more at ease and will be kind to me...

Answer 22

Not really, because then you are only doing it to benefit yourself and cover your own a$$

It's not complicated, I'm a good person.

Answer 24

Read Luke 11:13.

Answer 25

"For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

Excellent question! Seems the answer is in the eye of the beholder, eh? ****

Though many do, "good person" or "bad person" are not words I use to define myself. I'll let my actions define me, I am the one that chooses how I'm defined, others may infer from them whatever they choose; some inferences will be true and many more will likely be false. Life goes on...

Answer 26

I think being a good person is a lot more complex than this theory, but I understand your point.

Answer 27

I try to be good to everyone including those I don't know...Sometimes it does not always work out for the best.

Answer 28

I watch how people treat others, not me.

Although there are some people who don't deserve to be treated nicely. They act so badly, that they should be shunned.

Answer 29

Only other people can judge whether you are good or not. We control what we do and say, but we can't control how that is perceived by others.



Perception VS Reality

Answer 30

I meant to click yeah! sure! I'm more or less neutral to people I don't know, but I'm not in the habit of being exceptionally nice. I'm not really in the habit of being exceptionally nice to the people I do know and (sort of) like either. I think I make it obvious when I don't like someone. I've never been much of a salesman or even that social though. that might change in the coming years.

Answer 31

How can you "be nice" to people you've never met?

Answer 32

Answer 33

...of course!...That said, it's easy to nice to someone you like. The real test comes when we are around people we DON'T like.

Answer 34

I tend to be nice to strangers & friends alike...and expect the same from each...if not...

Answer 35

You mean, your rude in some way and lack hospitality to everybody except those few you know and like?

Answer 36

There's intention and then there's reality.

One can try, though.

Answer 37

Not all people are good enough to me, so I find it quite complicated to be good with absoluttely anyone.

Answer 38

If I find for some reason that I cannot control myself....well, haven't been there yet.

Online, I turn the computer off.

Offline, I just go home.

I've worked in non-profits for over 40 years. I've served a LOT of people I had no fondness for....I treated them no less than I did those I truly enjoyed.

Answer 39

I like to say that I am a good person all around, to everyone.
Though I am extra nice/good to people whom I know.

Answer 40

i often do something kind for a stranger HOWEVER People I don't like I normally have a **** good reason to say that in that case i do my best to avoid contact at all cost i'll only react aggressively if attacked
