Episode 33: The Unkindness of Niceness

Listen Later

Mary and Karen discuss the differences between being nice and being kind.

Here are the takeaways:

  1. Sometimes our attempts to be nice are not necessarily kind.
  2. Being nice is about being socially appropriate and polite, while being kind is more about being thoughtful and considerate from a place of authenticity and truthfulness
  3. Not hurting feelings can hurt feelings more in the long run.
  4. Being nice instead of being kind can breed resentment.
  5. Ask yourself why you’re being nice. Is it based in truth? Is it possible that you’re actually being selfish?
