Signs You're a Nice Person
You feel compassion and empathy for others. You give people genuine compliments. You listen to what other people have to say. You take responsibility for your mistakes.
Kind people always respect the feelings and needs of others. They are careful not to offend or hurt anyone. They know that sometimes being kind means just listening without giving advice or judging someone's situation.
KINDNESS means being considerate, courteous, helpful, and understanding of others. Showing care, compassion, friendship, and generosity. Treating others as you would like to be treated. A kind person shows concern for the feelings of others and is helpful and generous.
Another nice benefit: It can increase your attraction levels. Studies have shown that people rate others as more desirable if they embody compassionate traits — kindness, selflessness, mindfulness, empathy — to some degree.
Good people do the right thing, not what feels nice or is convenient. Good people know what their truth is and they speak it. Good people have their values clearly defined, and they align their actions with them.
People who don't like you may express through their body language. You can often see such differences between introverts and extroverts too. People who like you lean towards you and engage in conversation while those who repel you may avoid eye contact, lean away from you, and cross their arms or legs or both.
If someone is not fond of you, they may cross their arms when speaking to you, look away when you're talking, purse their lips or make other unpleasant faces. They may also lean away from you when talking or take a step back if you get too close.
Kind people are generous, and they don't mind offering their time and resources to others. For them, there is always plenty of love to go around. They live by the words, “Sharing is caring!” Another aspect of kindness is giving and not expecting anything in return.
Nice people make an effort to listen to people attentively, rather than continually speak about themselves. They listen, take in what the other person is saying and empathize. Empathy is one of the most important human qualities.
One could say of someone that he is obsequious : cf. Merriem Webster online dictionary : "marked by or exhibiting a fawning attentiveness"
If someone doesn't like you, they probably won't go out of their way to talk to you or be around you. They may act distant or even avoidant. If you try to engage them in conversation, they may give one-word answers or completely ignore you.
Some people will choose not to like you based on what they see on the outside: your clothing, attractiveness, etc. You don't meet their “standards,” so they write you off. Solution: It's harder to be kind to those who treat you as less of a person because of what they see.
As a general rule of thumb, a person is likely to be disliked if they are overwhelmingly negative, put others down or have no interest in their peers. Social anxiety can also be a concern; a person who thinks little of their own social aptitude may appear unlikable to others.
However, being too nice can also mean that you become a door mat or a people-pleaser. It can mean that you put other's needs ahead of your own. That can mean others get away with things that they shouldn't. An excessively nice person might never be really known on a deep level or taken seriously.
“Nice” is a self-centered behavior pattern, where you are acting in a “pleasing” manner, to “be a nice person,” and get people to like you. “Kind” is an other-centered behavior pattern, where you're acting in the best interests of others, out of a sense of love, empathy, and compassion.
Being nice is when you are polite to people and treat people well. Being kind is when you care about people and show you care. Sometimes you can be kind to someone even though you aren't nice to them and you can certainly be nice to someone but also be unkind.
But there are side effects to being too nice
Catering to others' needs every time and sidelining one's own needs can lead to resentment. This resentment often comes with a certain set of expectations that we may have from others in return. This can also lead to self-criticism.
