For much of my life i have been known as the Nice Guy, the Well-Meaning guy. i was voted Nicest Personality in high school (suckers).
An odd phenomenon that tags along with this mantle is other's perception of this kindness as feeble or the propensity to treat me with kid-gloves.
For example, i had made the decision to go to a tade school in FL. This meant that i would have to drive from Central-western Vermont to FL so i could transport all my clothes and other necessities.
i was having a phone conversation with one of my friends shortly before i was slated to leave and he said that he and another friend thought they should tag along. That they didn't think i would make it. i got really pissed at that. Sure, they were concerned, but i was a fuckin adult.
Well, i made it down there AND back. i still harbor a bit of resentment for that assumption that was made in that phone call
