What if you treated everyone you met, like that person is having the worst day of their life?

Honestly… I wanna say half of them would get annoyed mostly because people often kindness as a motive now (it’s hard to believe it’s genuine sometimes) probably the other half would appreciate you since they are having a lukewarm to a good day even a tiresome or a stressful day so they’d genuinely appreciate your kindness. But ever so rare you’ll find someone who’s really struggling and your kindness will make them cry. Just because you made them seen.

I like to try and give people the benefit of the doubt, even when they are being rude I know I can be rude or curt sometimes when I’m having a bad day, so I just assume they are too and just try and be as nice as I am normally to anyone else

So maybe we can just treat everyone gently but it doesn’t have to be like the worst day yk… being observant is the key here (I work with people who are in managing positions often support them in the back end and I get to see a spectrum of these cases on a daily routine so it was something that tapped into my professional life ig)
