How to use "Over-nice" in context?
There's no denying that there's something appealing about someone who is polite and friendly. After all, it's one of the characteristics that make them so likable. The trouble is that sometimes, being too nice can come off as insincere or fake. This can make the person seem like they are not really interested in you or that they are not really capable of interacting with others on an equal footing. This can turn potential friends and lovers into customers or employees, instead of equals. If you find yourself constantly reacting to people in a way that suggests you are over-nice, it might be time to reassess your approach.
