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?

Forgot to mention my dad’s ex partner and my step brother. They have a very recharging affect on me because they’re so wise and funny!

My youngest son, I always tell him he is like sunshine in human form. He is lovely to spend time with, is kind and funny and just wonderful.

It can make such a difference when you're young and unsure of yourself. My dad had a rotten childhood, filled with cruelty, bullying and neglect. He was also dyslexic and could barely read. When he was 17 he got a job in a garden centre. He had zero self-esteem and expected to get everything wrong, but the old man who supervised him was really kind and gentle. I remember my dad saying it was the first time he'd ever been praised.

My mum and husband. Loving and non judgmental. Patient and kind. Generous to a fault.

I have a pretty tight friendship group from school (left 30 years ago). One particular member is everyone’s favourite but he really doesn’t know it. We all love him so much and we really should tell him so more often.

My mother is a lovely person – genuinely kind and good. She had a job in a school for troubled kids, and to this day some great lump with a shaved head and tattoos will bib at her from a van and then run across the street and hug her. She used to call them "my boys," and they all loved her. One day, a teacher was rude to her and made her cry and one of these boys had to be restrained from going and smashing up the teacher's car! lol.

DP. He can still absolutely infuriate me, but he's funny, smart, sweet and kind.

Me. It used to be my mum but she died so I had to take over

My husband. So kind, thoughtful and gentle. Supportive, funny, generous of time and spirit. Sees the good in everyone. I really don't deserve him.

There are 3 men I know that would fit the bill for this - would be a struggle to choose between them. So kind, always there to help when you need it, just thoroughly decent people. No idea why it is all men - just a weird co-incidence I guess. I know plenty of lovely women just not as nice as these 3 men.

A male colleague, he is always there to listen to problems, very patient and smiley. He is also the cleverest person I know, very well read and is very interesting to talk to.

My husband. He's kind through and through, thinks about others, puts himself last and me on a pedestal. 🤗

My mum was so wonderful. It is only in recent times talking to friends that I realise that I was so lucky to have had such a mum and that not everyone has that experience. She NEVER gossiped about anyone or ran anyone down. She dealt with difficult people in her life with strength and dignity She was wise strong and funny. There are so many wonderful things o could say about her. I really miss her

Probably my older DB's wife - I've known her for more than 20 years and I've honestly never heard her utter an unpleasant word about anyone. But 'nice' isn't always a compliment in my book - I actually prefer people with a bit of edge about them. Nice can easily = dull. I like SIL a lot, but she's so 'nice' that I actually find her a rather ineffectual parent, for instance.

My mummy and my DC

I don't like nice people generally. But an ex colleague of mine is probably the sunniest, friendliest person, who is also interesting and easy to talk to, that I know. Everyone likes her and when we meet each other at random (we live close by), it always feels she is pleased to see me.

Me

An ex colleague/now friend.
A lovely patient kind person. She grew up in coastal California and is very zen, yet incredibly thoughtful. A real beauty who had an idyllic childhood on the beach, and now has a lovely life in her 50's. She has recently had some bad luck with a medical problem but her outlook remains as sunny as it always has. She is truly my idol.

My son. He’s the kindest, most compassionate, insightful, thoughtful , most loving person I’ve ever met.

His siblings love him to bits, his work colleagues think the world of him and I wish I were more like him.

My nephew. He’s genuinely a lovely lad

I don’t know if “nicest” is the right word, but my boss is the best person I know. She just attracts people to her, always knows the right thing to say, and is supportive to all people in her life. Even when the message she has to deliver isn’t nice, she does it in a way that fair, human, and clear.

I’ve learned so much from her about how to deal with people. For her, it’s a tacit ability and I know I’ll never be able to have the same level of skill, but I’m so thankful for her. She’s been a huge support to me- professionally and personally.
