Whatever.

Sometimes I wish I was a mean person who could just speak my mind all of the time and stand up to others whenever I pleased. But no, I have to be a nice person who lets others run over me and leave me in the dust. They always outshine me and take credit for things that I do. I never get acknowledged for anything because I don't flaunt my accomplishments around like a stuck-up snob. People that have no care for anyone but themselves really tick me off, and I just don't want to be like that. But sometimes, being kind to others can backfire. We've always been told to be nice to others by our parents, but that doesn't always have the effect that you hope for. Being known as the nice person doesn't get you very far. Sure, people are nice to you and know you as the "nice chick", but they won't hesitate to take advantage of that. They will use your niceness to their benefit to get things they want because they know you aren't very good at saying no. I wish I could just say no more often without feeling mean. Or better yet, I wish I could just be mean. *sigh*
