I'm starting to think I should be nicer to people. Lately I've been rather irritable, and it's showing. It's not very becomming. I used to be a lot nicer, generaly. I don't know what's happened.

Oh for gallantry to be second nature.

If you were any nicer to people you'd have to change your name to Mr Nicey McNicenice.

I'm serious. I feel I've been very short-tempered lately. I'm starting to get pissed off at people when I probably shouldn't be. Maybe it's just stress.

I suggest being less nice. If you keep forcing youself to please everyone all the time (which you nor anyone else can) then you just get frustrated because people will take advantage of you- which leads to that whole passive/aggresive thing you do sometimes. Being more certain of what you want, and don't put it aside for other people.

Passive/agressiveness is one of the unfortunate traits I'm hoping to overcome.

It's not necessarily about pleasing people all the time, just being generaly more pleasant towards them. And if I'm able to do something for them, great, I will. And I would hope that in turn they would have the decency not to take advantage of me. I hope I won't give them a reason to.

And I'm not going to put aside what I want for other people. I am certain of what I want, and I'm loathe to give it up if I can help it.
