History

The exact history of National Be Nasty Day is unknown. Perhaps someone got tired of being pleasant all the time and decided to discover their dark side at least once a year.

Being nasty on specific occasions can be useful. People often apply the term to those who haven’t accepted their opinion or refused their request. But it’s perfectly normal! A person must have personal boundaries to adhere to. It is necessary to say “no” to offers that are not suitable for you. Constantly trying to be necessary and pleasant for people can lead to self-destruction, as it involves betraying your own principles and overstepping your previously set boundaries. In that case, what is your value as a person?
