Who is the nicest person you know?

[PassingStranger]

A feel good thread who is the nicest person you know and a joy to be around?

My best friend, she is so kind and thoughtful and just a joy to spend time with. We have supported each other through thick and thin. She's awesome

My husband.

Always thinks of other people.

My DH. I'm definitely a better person for having met him too.

Ooh my mum is close contender actually.

My husband. And I am also blessed to have some wonderful friends.

My grandparents both were amazing and everything was about their family

a colleague she is just so lovely her work she does takes so much patience and she is so caring she is just a lovely person

My mum she’s always there and has the kindest heart.She’s funny and will do anything for anyone.She was a nurse for 40 years before she retired.
She’s never been lucky with relationships but at the age of 74 has reunited with an old work colleague and I’ve never seen her so happy and I’m so pleased she has a companion to share things with.

No one 😂 everyone I know is annoying in their own way

My friend and neighbour, who is just lovely. One of the kindest people, who has mastered the art of boundaries as well. She works hard and has two children who are wonderful and also ND, so that's not super easy. Her dh is a good guy (I don't know him as well as I know her). She loves life, I think, and that's a gift.

@AffIt Well he could be a bigamist because he sounds just like my DH- other than the teabags he hates that.Mine however doesn't rinse the sink after washing up.

My wonderful niece. So charismatic and a beautiful soul.
She's been through an awful lot and still smiles.
She's working away at the moment and I miss her.

My MIL. She’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met and all of her children are similar to her.

I don't know them really well, but one of the school dads. He's pleasant to everyone and nobody has a bad word to say about him . He does lots of charity work too.

One of dh’s best friends. Never a nasty word to say about anyone. Kind, patient and always asks people how they are and listens properly too. He is a rare breed.

My husband is nearer to perfection than I ever thought was possible. He is kind, funny, intelligent and generous.

Oh I love this thread

My old boss and now dear dear friend. Love him.

My animals have always been the nicest people I’ve known.
My darling highland ponies (now sadly gone) were the kindest people ever. My mare would take care of the most nervous beginner and would come and lay down by me when I sat in their field. My gelding was an absolute saint and the kindest boy ever. We would ride out just us two for hours and I felt completely safe and at peace in his company. He went along knowing exactly what I meant just through voice or change of weight or breathing.
My cats have been lifesavers keeping me company through illness and disability, making me smile everyday and providing a little warm body curled into me at night.

This is a lovely thread. Out of curiosity, do you think that being very kind/nice is a trait that men highly appreciate in women? Obviously it isn't sufficient on its own, but do you think it's something that draws men to women?

Everyone likes kindness.

If you want to know what men think, maybe a women’s forum isn’t that most reliable place to ascertain that?

Some of us are trying to take refuge from men in this space. Every other area of life seems to be dictated by what men think. Some of occasionally need a breather.

Women who base their entire personality and life around how attractive they might be to men just baffle me.

Wow, that's really quite a reach there. It was simply a question, which nobody forced you to answer.

My mother, she was a good mother, great sister, wife and friend to many. She was a teacher, when she died we heard so many amazing stories, she helped children who were bullied, had issues at home, parents of children having issues, other random people who lived in our area, single mums etc. We had hundreds of letters from people saying how she helped them get through stuff, we hardly knew any of this as she never made a fuss and always kept other people problems private, her funeral was packed with people whose lives she had touched.

Yes my dad too. He died last year and I really miss how lovely he was.

Everybody liked him and he was a real gentleman too as I often got told by so many people.

Next nearest is my oldest friend, she too is lovely which is why we've been friends for more than 50 years.

Wonderful thread. Odd one here, but my great grandfather! He died before I was born, yet he sounds like a wonderful man. He fought in WW1 and was badly wounded and sent home. But he couldn't bear the thought of his mates risking their lives while he was safe, so he volunteered to go back, where he was wounded again. I have the letters he wrote home to his wife from the trenches. They are just so beautiful and heart-breaking I can hardly read them. In fact, though he was an ordinary working-class man, he writes like a poet. His deep love for her and his children, and the fear he'll never see them again, is almost unbearable. My grandmother (his daughter) worshipped him and kept his photo by her bed all her life. He'd obviously been a very tough and brave man (he had been involved in hand to hand fighting and had actually bayonetted enemy soldiers), and yet he was also gentle and kind. He felt no hatred towards the Germans and would always say "they were brave men who fought for their country – like we did." He was patient and loving with children, hated cruelty to animals, and remained loyal and loving to his wife to the end. Amazing man.

I often think of a man I worked with when I was mid 20s. He'd been doing a job on a temporary basis for a few months, but the manager, who I'd worked with previously, decided he wanted me in the role, so I was transferred to do it, a promotion for me. The man who had been holding the fort had to train me and had every right to be really put out, but he was so kind and helpful and thorough.

We lost touch when he was transfered while I was on maternity leave and I've often tried to find him since. He had nothing to gain and no real reason to be kind to me, but he was anyway.

It’s hard one, nice seems so 2 dimensional a word. My very favourite people are my dad, my sister, my late mother and grandmothers, my husband, daughter, mother and father in law, brother in law, 2 of my cousins and some very very strong female friends who have been through all manner of shit but remain good humoured, kind and great company.
Thanks for starting this thread OP, it’s reminded me of the army of strength around me when I’m dealing with difficult people in my life.
