Boo.\u00a0 I made this really cute chart in Excel so you could see how everyone answered last month’s poll question, I think Nice People Are<\/strong>, but I can’t paste it into WordPress.\u00a0 If anyone has any intel on how to do this, do<\/em> tell.<\/p>\n

I, meanwhile, will share the results in verbal format, and you will have to visualize.\u00a0<\/p>\n

37% of you thought nice people were often play-acting<\/span><\/p>\n

35% said that nice people work hard to make others feel happy and cared-for, and they’re grateful<\/span><\/p>\n

9<\/span>% said nice people often sacrificed what they want, to their own detriment<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

7% said nice people were not as interesting as people with edge<\/span><\/p>\n

2% said nice people were born nice, and<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

12% said the whole question was too complex to answer in a poll<\/span><\/p>\n

Very interesting, my friends!\u00a0 More voters thought nice people were play-acting than they\u00a0were grateful for the niceness.\u00a0 Since respondents could vote for more than one category, there could have been an overlap, but still: it seems as though there’s suspicion about the sincerity of nice people.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wonder if you think the insincerity is pernicious, or just trying to make other people happy?\u00a0 But then–is that pernicious in itself, to always want to keep others afloat?\u00a0 I guess the question goes back to the 9% who think that nice people sacrifice what they want, often to their own detriment.\u00a0 Or maybe something else?<\/span><\/p>\n

This is certainly\u00a0the issue \u00a0for Sachi in Nice and Mean<\/em>.\u00a0 She wants her parents, friends and sister to think she’s the same Sachi she’s always been, but she has ambitions that need more than niceness to be realized.\u00a0 Especially when it comes to dealing with Marina…<\/span><\/p>\n

For late April\/early May, we turn to the other half of Nice and Mean,\u00a0<\/em>Marina herself,\u00a0and ask you to complete the sentence, “I think mean people are…”<\/span><\/p>\n

And in June–when N&M comes out–I can’t even think<\/em> what deliciousness lies in store.<\/span><\/p>\n

Happy voting!\u00a0 Vote early, vote often!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
