    When a complete stranger, either online or in real life, approaches you, unsolicited, and is overly nice to you, for no apparent reason, are you:

    A. Cautious, and curious as to what scam they are trying to pull

    B. Delighted, that the world is full of such super-dee-duper nice people

    C. Annoyed, because overly happy people are clearly annoying

    D. Fearful, because they're setting you up for an assault and are very likely a carrier of multiple diseases

    Why would someone being nice to you solicit 3 really negative responces from you or 1 positive yet cynical response??

    Why so negative? <<< serious question.

    I was about to say the same thing. After seeing this and seeing the responses from everyone, I'll try to be less nice now. It's funny though how when you seem less nice, you get nicer reactions from people you talk to like, store clerks, customers or just random people. When you're being genuinely nice though you're looked down upon.

    I can feel all of those, depending on the vibes different people give off :p

    This. Different people give off different vibes and my reaction is based on those vibes.

    That being said, I am a super nice person, but I don't always go out of my way to hold conversations with random people. I am nice in the way that I smile at everyone I pass and offer my help when I see someone who needs it. :) If a conversation sparks up, then great, but usually that only happens on rare occasions. ;)

    Sometimes A because I am a practical person and realize that not all people are trustworthy.

    Mostly B because I am a happy-go-lucky type person and you never know when a friendly smile or hello might just make someone's day.

    Never C

    D would be possible if I was in an unfamiliar place, like when I travel or something (not really the disease part tho).

    A< I have seen that in my experience. Any one who is overly nice is actually over-acting. They will show their colours soon!!
