When they say it they’re always seem to mean it as a compliment but I kind of get offended because of the connotation behind the term ‘nice guy’. And in the back of my head there’s that suspicion that they could possibly be making a dig at me.
I dunno, I feel like in the West being called a nice XX denotes that you’re weak, or insecure, or unattractive.
Probably they dont meant in a backhanded although as a person who is often called autistic i get that anxious feeling of being complimented as essentially a backhanded way to say "you are a naive idiot that doesnt understand this hahahahaha".
