Do you think being nice is more important than talent?

[Jermungandr]

Or just naive and immature. In my experience it tends to be the young or "noobish" people who tend to flock to those based on talent alone. They aren't necessarily bad people, they just have stars in their eyes.

Edit: Whoops, it seems I was ninja posted. Drshnaps, I don't see where talent serves as a means for developing relationships(outside of professional ones). You may attract people because of admirable skills, but if you're an irritable person no one is going to stay around you for long. Unless they see something worthwhile in being your friend (either they can tolerate you and think a worthwhile friendship can be had or they want to sponge off of your "talent" and brag about knowing having you as a "friend" to meet other people (I saw this happen quite a few times at a studio I used to study at)). Whereas being nice isn't necessarily a foolproof way to make friends either, but it does make you more approachable so that ground level conversations may be shared that allow a friendship to form.

I hope I'm not coming across as snobby (boy, I'm not making any friends today), but that statement is pretty much an answer to the question poised rather than invalidating it as a question. You are absolutely right by the way.
