I see it as the "nice guy" thing. We're nice guys. It take a LOT
  of work to be nice. People sometimes don't see it. I'm a little
  envious at times of people who just "let it all hang out" and
  say whatever they're thinking. They're not worried about
  consequences or looking ridiculous or caring about other
  people's feelings. When I encounter people like that, I'm
  reminded of the places where *I'm* like that and I try to work
  on it. I like being the "nice guy". But it's a lot of work.
  We're stretched to the breaking point already, just to keep a
  bit of civility moving forward. It's worth the struggle. Very
  worth it. But it's not easy.
