@simonsinek: Kindness and niceness aren’t the same thing. Niceness is the performance: the smile, the polite silence, the moment that keeps things comfortable. Kindness is the action, even when it’s awkward or hard. Not everything kind feels good in the moment. But that’s often the point. Video from Brilliant Minds 2025, in conversation with comedian, producer, and best-sellling author, Trevor Noah

When I'm nice, I do it for me. When I'm kind, I do it for you. 😊

Agreed. Niceness keeps things comfortable. Kindness creates change, even when it’s awkward or hard.

Nice: not making waves. Kind: genuinely helpful/supportive.

If you're a kind person then why not be nice?

At its very basic for me nice = fake, where as kind = honesty

Sometimes kindness doesn’t look nice, and niceness isn’t always kind.

you can be nice to someone without caring about their well-being, but if you're just genuinely trying to be kind, then you care about the effect you have

Kindness is what people do for others when social media isn't watching.

Growing up in New England and later spending time in southern states, I learned the difference between people who are nice, but not kind, and people who are kind, but not always nice. In New England we are kind, but not always nice and it is definitely a better way to live.

I'm kind but not nice, I'll take you 3 hours to the airport at 2am, but I'll be half jokingly grumbling about it the entire time

This reminds me of a time I was introduced to a new coworker and I blurted out “you have lipstick on your teeth” I felt bad right after because I know they might have embarrassed them, but that’s me, I will apologize next time I get a chance
