Sure, “nice” needs some definition.

But that’s your call. I’m asking you if you are a nice person.

I‘d say I‘m honest and loyal, not particularly nice. To me nice means diplomatic, charismatic and with low temper.

I’m balanced.

I’ll help you push you car. I’ll hold the door for anyone, I’ll let you in, in traffic. I’ll over-tip the wait staff, even the ones having a bad day. I give kids in my neighborhood freezypops when it’s hot AF. I’ll go out of my way to make sure your food allergy is covered and you’ll have safe snacks at my gathering.

I won’t give the guy begging on the corner money. I won’t help you forever if you never reciprocate. You skip a paycheck, I won’t wait for you to get it sorted.

I won’t remember that you hate mushrooms. I won’t remember your kids name or wife’s face. I’ll forget you birthday if it’s not in my calendar. I’ll tell you I need to focus on something for an hour and go take a nap.

We’ll get along just fine. But I will remember the kid’s face if they’re cool.

You aren’t grumpy. You’re just conserving your emotional bandwidth for when it is really needed.

That’s how I choose to interpret this, anyway.

I’m afraid not, I’ve never been to France much less be familiar enough to claim to be one of them.

I like to think I am. I used to be a piece of shit, and I’ve worked really hard over the last 9 years to become a better person. I don’t always succeed, as the old demons like to pop their heads out every now and again, but I do put forth great effort most times.

We’re all on a journey. None of us have arrived. The effort counts.
