stop being so nice

if you can't be nice, don't be fake nice. it goes against the whole principle of what 'nice' really is. if you can't find it in yourself to be sincerely nice about something, then just keep it honest and react naturally. if you don't like something, then don't like it. not liking stuff doesn't make you an asshole. it makes you a human being. everyone finds themselves not liking lots of things on a more than regular basis. so just stop with the bullshit and react in a way that is honest and true to yourself.

you're better off being rude than faking niceness. the rudeness would be more sincere and heartfelt. faking niceness with someone is pretty much the same thing as lying to them. you're being dishonest with yourself and with whoever you're dealing with. and in return, someone you're dealing with may be pissing you off and they'll never know cuz you keep pulling the 'fake nice' routine. if you're dealing with an asshole, believe me with everything you got on this one, the best thing you can do is let them know how much of an asshole they're being. a lot of assholes aren't very self aware. help them out. that'd be the really nice thing to do.

and stop asking people how they are if you really don't care how they are. i've started making it my mission to make people regret ever asking me this question. it's polite but it's bullshit. but hey, since you're asking, let me fill you in on how i'm really doing. this may take a while. but hey, you'll never ask me again and you shouldn't have asked me in the first place. lesson learned.

i don't know why people feel this need to pretend to be nice. i can see right through it and so can everyone else. give it a rest. do us all a favor and be a real person. no one's nice all the time. no one's nice when they're angry. if you're angry, be fucking angry. that's the natural thing to do. don't shame yourself into denying your own right to be anything but nice. there's all sorts of other emotions in the human spectrum. get to know them. cuz i'm pretty sure all insincere attempts at being nice kill a little part of the soul every time.

and hey, if you're sincerely being nice, right on! nice people rule!
