LOL! Leave it to TA to ruin a thread with nice intentions.
Anyway, I'm not sure I agree with you Jenny. Sure, I have my moments of bitchiness, but for the most part, I either 1. can't be bothered to care enough, or 2. don't feel the need to be an asshole for no good reason. If it's a matter of standing up for myself to the little hoebags who butt in front of me in the Tim Hortons line, then yea, my inner-bitch emerges, but otherwise, why bother?
There is already a whole lot of shittiness going on, why add to it? It doesn't usually make you feel any better - or at least it doesn't make me feel any better.
I get a lot more enjoyment out of being nice and making people feel good. Maybe this sounds lame or whatever, but when I do something nice for someone and their face lights up with a smile and you can tell you made their day a little better, it makes me happy. So... I choose to be nice, even when people are dicks.
I am not going to lie, I like it when people like me. With that being said, I also couldn't care less when people hate me. Most of the time if they truly hate me, it's because I did something to warrant it (at least from their opinion), or they are just douche****s who want to hate me for funsies. Either way, chances are I don't want to be friends with them anyway.
I think it takes more strength to be nice in the face of all the ugliness out there than it is to just join the crowd and be another curmudgeonly grump.
It also takes a lot more bravery IMO to defend the little guy instead of jumping on the bandwagon and hating on someone so as to avoid being the next person who gets hated on.
Being nice doesn't mean you have to be walked all over, and it doesn't mean you have to be a yes-man. You can still be nice and pleasant and have a backbone.
As for appreciating people who don't ruffle their feathers... I think people just appreciate others who are positive and make them feel good. No one likes to be around a negative asshole who makes them feel shitty.
