Nice, not a good word, i'd rather say kind 😄 Nice people are those who put on a mask, like when people say be nice, she was nice and so on, it's forced and fake rather than person who's genuinely kind. Couldn't really define the person but if i had to i'd say that reflects on what they do. If i had to define it i would mention the quote i like: Kindness is the language that blind can see and the deaf can hear. 🙂 People like that. 🙂

Nice, good, kind ... semantics.

how do i define a nice person? an idiot. a dull, dimwitted fool. because that is what the word nice originally meant.

when nice was first used in English, it meant "foolish or stupid." this is not as surprising as it may seem, since it came through early French from the Latin nescius, meaning "ignorant."

i try not to use nice as a positive.

I would consider them more kind than nice personally

one of the kindest people I have met have been a leo, cancer and pisces

all very compassionate 😄

Usually cancer women are super nice to me.

stop calling the people you love nice. you're actually insulting them.

Words aren't fixed as they are dependant on changing usages and definitions that people collectively give to them. Language is a code used to understand and be understood, so insulting or complimenting someone in a way that isn't perceived as such by anybody except you is futile.
