I've only seen niceness from you.

I can get really unforgiving towards people who I feel have humiliated me in some important way, something that I really don't like about me but which was aggravated by some really bad experiences a few years back. But I don't get angry at someone easily under normal circumstances.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Yes. Being nice is extremely important to me and something I actively work on.

RE: Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
People use the phrase "too nice" to describe me all the time, but I highly disagree with their assessment. I think those are people who just don't know me very well, or have never done anything to make me turn in the other direction. Generally, yes, I am very nice, but rubbed the wrong way, my inner bitch has no problem showing herself.

RE: Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
Yes and no.
I'm kind, loyal, and generous to a fault.

But, I don't like being f*cked with. 

If people do that to me in a significant degree or with adequate frequency, they're dead to me.
Don't care what happens to them after that; and I'll probably laugh about it.

No. I consider myself a deeply flawed person who nonetheless tries to do the right thing most of the time.

I can be but I know I also have less nice impulses .. especially while driving.

It helps to rise above it and understand that people are just people.

Generally speaking, I think I'm a nice guy, just very reserved and may come off as not friendly.

But, also, there are a few I'm not nice to, and am proud of not being nice to those few. For good reasons.

Me? Not particularly, not anymore. I used to be, I used to go out of my way to be nice, polite, helpful, reliable, and other things that are so readily exploited. While I'm not completely being a right bastard by way of over-compensation, I'm definitely more bitter and cynical.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I don't think about being nice, that is a call for other people to make. In fact I can think of a whole lot of people who, if they thought of me as "nice", I would be deeply disappointed. In the end I would rather that good people thought of me as someone they could trust, and bad people thought of me as someone they had to worry about.
