Nice??!!??

Hi.. been a while since i wrote..
but was feeling quite angsty today..
so i had to get this off my chest..

see, yesterday someone very close to me.. said that she thought i was very nice..
which is great of course.. so i smiled sweetly.. and said "Hmmm.." or something like that.

I am not complaining about being called 'nice'. I would definitely rather be 'nice' than 'not nice'.
It's just that this is not the first time i am hearing 'nice' as a description for me and it just strikes me as being .. inadequate.

I would understand If someone who didn't know me said - "Oh, she is nice"
But when people i know very well, who know me very well, people who probably love me a lot have to describe me .. and all they can say is "Nice", it really bothers me.
Because - what is 'nice'? Its a word you can possibly use for almost everybody.
It pretends to be an adjective but it really says nothing about the person & it makes me feel very .. dead & very without personality.
I am not kidding myself here. I don't think i have THAT MUCH personality but i must have some.

People don't describe you very often. You don't get to hear good things about yourself that often. So when someone finally says something about you they really should try to make it good (Key Learning etc!).
