Not really. It depends what you want to ask them.

yeah, all the time. sometimes i just keep my 'niceness (lol)' to myself, like if i see someone crying by the lockers, i think it's nearly everyone's instict to ask what's wrong, but you get right dirty looks as if you're prying. *shrugs* you can't help some people.

Yep, you're trying to be friendly and helpful, and you have genuine concern, and they think you're just being a nosey blegger.

Not really, I've usually warmed to nice people who seem interested? Although I don't really ask those kind of questions, so maybe I've just never noticed all the nice people getting told they're nosy lol.

Being nice doesn't mean you ask questions all the time. It just means you don't talk about yourself all the time.

Discuss the weather.

I think it's always better to try and help / be friendly towards someone and be snubbed than to ignore someone who'd actually really like to talk / have your help / would appreciate your concern if they're upset. :smile:

It's sad that so many people are lead to worry about the effects of being "nice". :frown:
