Stop being so nice

Fake niceness is a form of manipulation. You’re pleasant because you want something in return, usually approval or safety from conflict. People can sense this, even if they can’t name it. It doesn’t feel authentic because it isn’t. Be kind when you mean it. Drop the forced smile when you don’t. Authenticity, even when it’s a little uncomfortable, commands more respect than any performance.
