Is it possible for a person to be too nice?
I'm very good at not standing up for myself, at leaving the status at quo. I don't like confrontation. I don't like hurting people's feelings. I would rather just bite my tongue than come up with a clever comeback when someone says something sharp or critical to me.
My cubemate accuses me of being too nice. She is never at a loss for words and never hesitates to stand up for herself or her work. I can't imagine having that kind of confidence and nerve.
Is it a negative trait to be quiet, to worry about hurting others' feelings? Is there some sort of balance between being subdued and being forthright.
Is it possible to be too nice?
