Really nice people, almost to nice, annoyingly nice. Then I figured out why they were being to nice. > > They are practicing this thing called Ask, Believe, Receive. The idea is that if you keep telling yourself everyday that you will have a good day or whatever you come up with, then it will happen and you will be a happier person. As they were explaining this to me, I tried, I really tried not to break out in hysterical laughter, but I couldn’t help it. > > I think it’s great to have a positive outlook on life, but these guys think that just because they are saying what they want to happen, it will happen. They also believe that by being nice 100% of the time, they are making themselves happier. > > Here is my issue: Being nice to people does feel good but it can be VERY bad for you if you do it to much. Think of sugar. Sugar is awesome, in small quantities, beyond that it becomes bad for you. Same thing with being too nice. If you are too nice then people WILL take advantage of you. > > If you only look at the positive things in life and not the negatives you are setting yourself up for a major meltdown when something negative DOES happen to you. Which it will. People need to be balanced. You need to see both sides of the world. > > Who else thinks this is bullshit? I 100% BELIEVE that those chicks would’ve got banged @ my house. :thumbup --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ask-believe-receive/251342)._
