I still hold a fuzzy version of an early childhood memory where I was tagging along with… some guardian in the mall and bored and generally causing chaos (running around playing) waiting for them to finish.
At one point I bumped into some clean cut lookin’ frat dude who immediately made some angry comment that nearly started a fight with my guardian
Later I had a much bigger bump with someone and was horrified as I looked up to see the biggest piercest leatherest tattooest looking guy who knelt down and asked in the kindest voice mankind has yet produced, “Hey, you okey buddy? Your toy fell, here ya go!”
It was probably a good experience for young heho
Anyone ive met who knows the darker sides of reality most, is basically like this. Once they trust you, they’re usually pretty great, they’re just very, very cautious with their kindness and do not assume good intentions from the world around them.
Hey, that’s Loise
Relatable. I am not particularly nice or kind, but I do definetely look way grumpier than I actually am.
I often get asked by cashier what’s wrong while I’m buying groceries.Life as a gymbro. 😔 Everyone assumes we’re arrogant meatheads, but I swear most of us are really wholesome
So many people confuse my apathy for anger. I’m not mad I just really don’t care about insert thing.
To be fair it makes sense. If you’re nice, you can rely on that instead of putting in the effort of looking nice.
If you’re a terrible person, then a nice mask would probably help you far more than the above scenario.

It’s like pokemon!
…whats wrong with that?
I was raised like this and I turned out fine!
I love it when twins nickname their siblings “Spare parts”
I get that alot. Apparently I look cold and disinterested in people. But actually love chatting with people around me. Seems my RBF makes me not very sympathico.
Your round bottomed flask?
Actually, it’s their Reserve Bank of Fiji. Times have been tough recently
Oh. My mistake, sorry. Hopefully things get better soon.
There is no gravity in space and even if, just need to keep the storage full. Water is recycled anyways.
Excuse me? What? Haha.
I must not be that nice, then - I avoid eye contact as much as possible.
It me
I have Resting Lurch Face.
You rang?
I have a friend who recently moved from the poorer side of the town I live in to the richer. (I’ve always lived in the latter, richer area.) And he was talking about how striking it was to him that on the richer side, strangers would go way out of their way to avoid interacting or making eye contact or anything, but the moment you forced the issue and start actually talking to them, they’re the nicest people ever. The other side of town, interaction wasn’t avoided the same way, and they wouldn’t necessarily be quite as nice in their interactions.
You seem to be saying that rich people are nicer than poor people.
Yes, did you not go to American public school? Poor people are both lazy, and secretly rich because of how hard they work to game the system. You know, the system that literally doesn’t exist.
More like “nice-in-quotation-marks”. Maybe “polite” would have been a better word. They smile bigger – exaggerated and insincere. They try to satisfy whatever you’re wanting so they can conclude the interaction as quickly as possible. They keep an air of superior self-righteousness while being nice… defensively.
Mind you, I do even put “polite” in quotes on purpose. The more stuck-up folks can very “politely” cut you straight off at the knees in a way that preserves some semblance of plausible deniability where poorer folks (on average, very much a generalization) may be more real/authentic in general and can be more direct about calling you an asshole.
Mind you, this friend of mine who made this observation didn’t say any of what I said in this comment. That’s just my own editorializing.
Well I don’t consider myself one of the nicest motherfuckers on the planet, my niece’s bestie did give me a shirt with a 🙂 on it as a gift while telling me this.
isnt it nice when people see the goodness inside you ❤️
