Have you ever met a person that is just too nice that you can't trust it?

My kid is in an activity where you regularly interact with the parents and maybe I am just too DC jaded, but one of the Moms seems to be the most genuinely nice person I've ever met in my time in the area. I'm not a big truster of people in general, but can someone really just be that normally and authentically nice and there's no catch?

Yes, people can be really nice with no catch. You sound jaded.

Yes. Those people exist and when you are lucky enough to meet a truly nice person appreciate them fully. They don't come around that often.

She might not be from the DMV area, OP. And that is perfectly okay, you are allowed to talk to her. She might be one of the nicest people you meet!

No. I don't distrust nice people. My goodness. That is problematic thinking.

Haha this is me!
But I'm DC born and raised. I'm just a super nice and pay it forward type because I cheated death and think I must still be here to try to do some good. The only catch is, if we become good friends and get drinks I might drunk cry my story to you.

There are really nice people out there. Lucky! You seem to have found one.

I used to be nice but then people questioned my niceness so I said F*it and became jaded.

I trust people until/if they give me a reason not to.

Maybe she’s just nice?

I would think this was awesome. I have a couple of friends who I absolutely adore because they are just so positive all the time, and not in a fake way. I feel good when I spend time with them.

They exist, just typically don’t reside in dc. Appreciate them

[Anonymous]

No.

This is how POCs view white people OP.

I met one! She’s the mom of my kid’s classmate / friend. And we’ve become friends! And her husband is genuinely nice too!

So many exclamation points!

It’s sad, I’m just not used to genuinely nice people. Damn.
