I'd also like to add that the "nice" people that are unaccustomed to expressing negative emotion often don't know how to control it.
.
Once it is unleashed, they may not be able to keep it reigned in or be able to "shut it off." Provoked far enough, they may never be the same again.
Not a lot of people hear this quote. I'm a nice person, but people always sort of took that as me being a punching bag. And then when I politely ask to stop messing with me they call me a bitch. Little do they know yet.

Smitty, I'm one of those people you talk about. I consider myself a nice person and I can take a lot of crap. However, once I've had enough I can turn into quite a bitch and on the rare occasion that I then do speak my mind, everybody is freaked out and act like I've turned into some sort of a monster.

Oh, and sometimes it's not just that the 'nice' person doesn't know how to control their anger, but that people around them are not used to it.
One time my friend (who is nice as can be and would most likely take a bullet for me) was in her chorus class and her other friend was getting really annoyed and mad at everyone bc they wouldn`t stop talking, so my friend straight up screamed at the class to shut up and she almost cussed out a student for saying no. She said everyone was really scared and shocked, seeing as in every other class she doesn`t talk at all. Moral of the story: Don`t fuck with nice people, be a nice person yourself.
I have an aunt, sweet as sugar. As children there was a girl who picked on my grandmother -her sister- my grandmother made that child rethink her life choices and literally chased her out a a window. Years later, this girl, now wary of my grandmother , decides to pick on my sweet, shy soft spoken auntie Freddie. Auntie hit her car with her own car, pushed her -car and all- into a gulley and threatened to run her over next time. No one really bothers Auntie Freddie anymore.

Provoking me isn't exactly a great idea, believe me, my friends can tell you allllll about it.
