stephanie79 - I'm sorry for taking your thread into a direction that you may not have hoped for. To get things back on track I would like to add that I feel there is no set age for maturity, in all it's facets, as well as a deep awareness of ones own spiritual convictions. Each one of us develops senses, whatever they may be, and seeks answers to our own life questions on unique individual paths. If you feel you are experiencing a shifting of ego on your path and feel it is the right time to delve deeper, perhaps you are ready to take a step you previously weren't ready for. I love that no matter what your age is, you always are on a never-ending continuum of learning.

Short answer: yes.
Some people get overbearing in having to be nice. They don't seem to be able to allow things to be as they are.

I've been told all my life that i am "too nice"... grr.. i hate that lol...
I just don't like to hurt people, at least, not intentionally... and that usually means putting up with a lot of ****..(but i am getting better...)
Over the years i have been able to become a bit stronger. I have witchy moments like us all and am no longer a door mat. (thank goodness)

Solace, I happen to like nice people! They are my favourites!
I don't think you can be too nice so long as that's naturally the way you are. It's ok.
But someone who is pretending to be nice...because they think it's "spiritual" or have their eye on some reward....well I don't like them so much!
I'm "nice" but I also have some faults, can be annoying, and can be a bit stupid sometimes lol! Also I have been known to get annoyed with computers and banks, and people who drop litter, on occasion, and find it hard to have unconditional love for cruel people.
There! (so I guess I'm not that nice. Maybe that's why I like nice people)
But we can't all let our common sense go to the wind. We have to have that. So if anyone tries to take advantage of your "niceness" it is good to have gentle but strong assertion, and boundaries.

I agree Tobi, i definitely have my not so nice moments if someone ticks me off lol. Unconditional love is hard for animal abusers etc. I can honestly say that 90% of the time i am nice and it is genuine. I like to treat others how i want to be treated, and i like to be cheery. (my dentist and grocery store clerks call me sunshine lolol...so i can't help it.. too ingrained i think to change..)
((hugs)) You have very "nice" energy..

Just be yourself without fear of reprisals - whether it's "too nice" or not.

It depends on what "nice" entails.
Kindness is something that is vastly under-rated in my opinion, but that is subtly different from being nice. Kindness (to me) implies a strength and a wisdom and a care, whereas nice is somewhat weak.
But, that is my perceptino.

I don't think it is possible to be too nice. You seem to have chosen a nice thing to work on. |
