Hi Will! There are people which deserved the others not to be nice with them, others the exact opposite. So it's the people you deal with that often help you be nice or not! (The truth is that I don't really believe that the above is that easy! )
It's not so hard to be nice, is it? Maybe it's easier for females? Anyway, I treat people how I hope they would treat me back. On the other hand... I don't lose any sleep if someone is not nice to me for some silly reason. Just move on, it's their loss!
Just live and learn. You can't be nice all of the time of course especially when you are intentionaly provoked. It takes practice for some of us including myself. I was very responsive in past times when someone delibaretely make stupid comments about something regarding me posting something but now i try to stand above it or ignore it and sometimes if the timing isn't right and i wil respond anyways. (we are all human afterall) It just isn't worth your mental energy and the time to reply if you have to reply back in a not so nice manor or even aggresively. I was the kind of guy when i was younger that would get upset by looking at me in a way i wouldn't like. A bad or nasty look was all it would take to set me off.
yo will. I am not a suitable person to answer that.. anyway..why are you askin such question.. whats wrong? did something happen?.........
Well, I am an actor, so I act being nice out. It works too, because I am that great. But if you have a lot of trouble being nice, then just keep quiet. Hehe..
You would not believe what I have to put up with owning a bar, I tend to find people are either normal, stupid or just want a slap. I also have to put up with questions like: Customer: Do you need a licence for a venus fly trap? Me: (I don't think I did answer, just ignored her) Customer: I'll have a brandy on Ice Me: Which brandy would you like Customer: Famous Grouse Me: Thats a whisky Customer: ok I'll have a Famous Grouse Brandy please Customer: Do you live here (Lanzarote) Me. No I travel from the UK every day Customer. Don't you get sick of traveling 4 hours then 4 back every day? (above person was actually serious) So being nice is normally very hard, I tend to get sent to another pub by my missus when she sees me getting a little unhappy, but generally I tend to smile and go chat to someone else and try not let it bother me
