this a nice situation to answer...look everytime u need not be straight..the trees which are straight are uprooted first...thats the reality but sometimes it depends upon the situation, happened with me so many times, the moment you are honest its like people take advantage of you and this is life, so it all depends upon the situation and be nice attitude doesnt mean that u lose your self respect, sometimes u have to say a strict NO to situations, and being nice is the only way for effective relationships but it should be coupled with other factors like dignity, trust and better relationships when they do not take advantage of you bing nice///

Ethics is the basis for a well balanced soul.
Set your standards and follow them.
Let the others whom "do not meet" your standards, just vanish from your radar. Rise above. There are other nice folks out there, we just don't "open ourselves" up to be hurt by the rest of the folks to often.
Be Nice, doesn't mean be a Door Mat! Stand up for yourself and don't let others lower you to their behavour.
I talk to them like three year olds..... that is not acceptable behavior for children or responsibile adults.

Parents taught you? Great, my parents taught me a wealth of opinions too, but is their word truth or their advice something one should blindly live by? No. I'm sorry you have a God complex that involves your parents, but you're going to have to learn a few things. First, while it's good to 'be nice' it's not good to be retarded. Keep your eyes open and your mind one step ahead of the guy in front of you.

Hey comon don't act childish. Ok. I have seen people taking advantage of mine nice behavior too. But rather being angry U should work on yourself. I am not saying U to be bad. But every relation has its boundaries. Being nice doesn't mean that U say "Yes" to every saying of people whether right or wrong. Learn to say "No". Your parents taught U to be nice only. They didn't taught U to be slave of others or be all time favorite. Or to try to please every1. Be nice but also learn to say No with a smile.

your "BE Nice" works in a different enviorment. You shouldn't be nice, BUT be humble. However, different issues and situations requires you to act strongly and differently.
Sometimes, yes, you should be nice, or humble, or straight, harshs, strict etc etc.
U only need to learn when to apply the right attitude for the right situation being it good or bad.
But which ever attitude you put forth, make sure it benefits you and the other party. If you only stick to one atitude which is "Be Nice", then yeah, you won't get far.

you're actually not in charge for all and sundry's habit yet your guy or woman, and additionally you're completely and thoroughly in charge for that. If different each and every person is mendacity, dishonest, behaving badly, that doesn't justify you changing your habit and beginning as much as lie, cheat and behave badly. even in spite of the shown fact that, you're actually not obligated to permit people to apply you as a doormat in basic terms when you consider which you're valuable. Even valuable people choose a hefty dose of skepticism approximately others, considered one of those "Oh, yeah?" whilst confronted by persons who will attempt to apply you or manage you. Make people EARN your have faith before you supply it to them. Doing that doesn't make you a foul individual, it makes you a sensible individual. choose for your self what standards you place on your guy or woman habit and how you choose people to think of of you. and each so often it does require capability of character to stick to being of stable character whilst it sort of sounds like each and every person around you is behaving badly. Be sturdy, set intense standards and targets for your self, and overlook with regard to the folk who look content cloth with rootling around in the slime. you will no longer remorseful approximately it.

Well I was taught the same thing. To be polite and nice is a very rare thing nowadays. I've always treated people the way they treat me. So if they're rude to me, I reciprocate that back to them. If they're nice, I'm nice. It all depends on how they treat me.

Be nice. Bad people may be the winners in the short run, but always lose big at the end.
