Do you think being polite is considered a weakness by people?

Sanjeev
Unfortunately, due to beliefs or cultural influences, some people may view politeness as a weakness. A few people may take advantage of someone else's courtesy, giving the impression to others that being nice leaves you open to abuse. It happens with me many times and I have to let realise people that my politeness is not my weakness. Do you also think so? Have someone ever taken an advantage of you being polite?
 
Yes. People nowadays don't value when somebody is polite. They will think they can do whatever they want with you because you are not setting limits and over time they will treat you like an insects.
I have been disrespected so many times because I am polite to the people. It is not that I can't do anything within my power to make the person pay for what they did.
 
As someone that works in retail and has to deal with the general public on a regular basis, I'm going to have to disagree on that. It's not weak to act polite............I think it's just how people should act when they're out in public.

Dealing with people all day is exhausting......it gets much, much worse when people come into your store and act a fool. You're not going to be able to keep very many people working in your store if people are going to continue to act rude and crude and socially unacceptable all day long. No one wants to deal with that kind of abuse (emotionally and mentally).
