Why being nice isn't as simple as it seems. Find out why some people just don't get it.
Have you ever noticed how some people just can’t believe that being nice is real? They think if you’re being kind, you must want something in return. It’s like they can’t understand that some people are nice just because they want to be.
Here’s the thing—being nice isn’t always easy. Some people think it’s a trick. They believe you’re only helping them because you want something from them later. They think kindness is like money—you give it out now to get something back later.
Let’s say you’re someone who enjoys helping others. Maybe you like making people smile or spending time with their family. You do it because it makes you happy, not because you’re expecting a reward. But then, someone starts to wonder why you’re so nice. “What’s the catch?” they ask. “Do they want something from me?”
Imagine if being nice really worked like that. Every time you smile at someone, it is because you want something from them. You’d be thinking, “I’ll be nice today so they’ll owe me a favor tomorrow.” Or, “I’ll help them now so I can get something out of it later.” That sounds tiring, doesn’t it? But some people actually believe that’s how it works!
The truth is, real kindness doesn’t work like that. When you’re nice, it’s because you care. It’s because you want to make someone’s day better, not because you’re expecting something in return. But some people just don’t get that. They think you’re always planning something, looking for a way to benefit yourself.
And here’s the funny part: While they’re busy thinking about what you might want from them, they forget that maybe you’re just looking for love, care, and respect. That’s not much to ask, is it? But to them, it seems boring. They’d rather think you’re up to something sneaky.
So, here’s some advice: Don’t be too nice! It’s boring! Some people just won’t believe that you’re being nice for no reason. They’ll always think you want something from them. They’ll try to figure out what you’re really after. Because to them, kindness just doesn’t make sense.
And to those who think kindness is like money: Here’s a secret. The best things in life—like love, care, and respect—are free. You can’t buy or sell them. They come from the heart. So next time you wonder why someone’s being nice, maybe just accept that they’re a good person. No strings attached.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about money or rewards. It’s about being a good person. And if being nice for no reason is boring, then I’m happy to be boring!
