I'm losing my ability to be nice.

I've always been know as being such a nice person. I try not to say mean things to people. I normally have a huge
amount of patience, but the past few months I think I've just had enough.

I never thought it would be possible for me to reach my niceness limit, but I think I'm nearly there. Is it just me, or
are other people feeling the same way?

I'm not talking about ATS alone. I'm talking in real life, or online, or whatever. It's like my niceness tank is empty
and I don't want a refill.


I'm definitely going to have to change my avatar. I need something to match my current mood.

Am I alone in feeling this way?

Not at all. I've been much the same lately. I too was always the 'nice guy' but am losing rope these days.
My wife says it's PTS from the job I quit ~6 months ago

ive lost mine i reckon
as long as im honest tho that can be my substitue for not saying happy things
happiness is over rated anyhow

not possible in my book, unless youve lost more then just the abilitiy to be nice
contentment is for lazy no hopers!
who lie to themselves that theyve done everything possible or that they neednt do anymore
thats soft

Yeah well Go To Hell

haha, No seriously... its my website...

OP... i'm bi-polar and the nice side of me is getting nicer... the mean side... is getting meaner...

Also i've noticed my mood has been extreme in the last 4 months...

but your OP totally reminded me of this song!!

Whew.... I feel SO much better now.

Transformation complete.

Glad to know it's not just me feeling this way.

Whatever you're doing/feeling now... is the best thing for now.

Nothing more need be done now.

For now you are perfect.

Namaste!

I'm not wallowing in division.

I'm just tired of being too nice, and getting taken advantage of. I'm making a stand, I guess.

I feel terrible because I think I may have been cranky here on the forums lately. And if I have been cranky to anyone in my posts I do apologize to you all sincerely. I do not like being this way. Seems life out there has been stressing me out, and when I get online I tend to blow off the steam. Sorry friends! But, op, no you are not alone. Things are tough all over.

A flag and a star for you avatar.

I had been a bit flat recently and wondered if I had lost my power to giggle. Then I saw some woman dressed as though she was going to the royal wedding with her nose snobbishly 'up in the air'. She looked very swish from the front, but with her skirt tucked up neatly into the back of her drawers at the back - back came the power to giggle.

I've been thinking the same thing for a while. What bothers me most, I suppose, is that I am aware of the choice to be mean. There are days, though, that I awaken in just the right way to be content and nice. I can even be mean to myself for not posting anything that I feel is relevant to this thread.

I haven't noticed anything lately, but I do know that if I spend too much time arguing here I can feel it seeping into my life. I start to get short with my husband and I feel more irritable than my normal happy and patient self. When I notice this, I back off the arguing.

I like being nice. Sometimes.
