Seriously, since I know "Cold Hearted Snake" better than "Captain Nice", those are the related experiences, the related personalty traits the word falls upon and I carry on, accordingly.
"Charlie X" is not in that equation since that was a negative.
We learn to react by what we know, by what we learn. Those are the experiences I can match with "nice".......and I probably pick the most favorable, the most pleasurable.

Dictionary calls a dissenter a nonconformist. That's me, but I often like people who are different from the majority. Is that the way you are?
Hard to explain. I fully admit I'm an ahole and make no apologies about it. What I mean by that is I'm going to express myself and my view knowing it will rarely be popular. I try to be honest even if I know it will ruffle feathers. I don't intentionally pick mean words or do mean acts but people interpret what I say as sociopathic because I'm not an emotional person and rarely show emotion.
