Who cares if others or "not all people" think you are...........insert the _____ or too.......insert the _____ or not enough......insert the _____

All that matters is what you think of yourself!

Sometimes at work I get told "I am too nice" because I am laid back, polite and do a very thorough job when helping customers.

I do have a union job, so it is easy to slack off and not suffer the consequences. However, I was not raised that way and I have experience in the corporate world where you had to have a "proactive approach".

Sometimes this bothers me when my colleagues say this, but then I say to myself "Who cares what they think, it only matters what I think.

Do I think I am too nice? Honestly, no I do not. People who are too nice are afraid to say no and have no boundaries, which is not me. I treat others the way I like to be treated and never start stuff with people. However, if you push me, I will push back.

Let how you see yourself and not others; define who you are.

True, but the social view can conflict with your true self and your self view and limit and close your opportunities. Thus if we want effective penetration, some "politicking" is required, or else it will always work against us.
