Psychologists Find that Agreeable People Are More Likely to Hurt You

[Adonai One]

Cynicism would mean I'm not open to the possibility of agreeable people being helpful and not hurting me.

However, I have noticed a trend that people who try to be agreeable all the time will often throw me under the bus the moment I don't agree with them. "Nice" and "polite" people often remind me of the people who wash windows of cars of people who never asked for it, who then get pissed when they don't get paid.

It's conditional love embodied. Everybody is nice and respectful when you are nice and respectful. When you have one quality that is disdained heavily enough, you're thrown to the street corner. Then you're invited back when you're willing to submit.
