okay but it actually doesn’t. I’m nice to my friends and they still make me walk alone in the back of the sidewalk, they group huddle to talk and leave me out, I always walk alone behind them in stores. I’m nice to my boss and she still talks to me like I’m stupid even though I’m the only one who works AND I always come in on my days off when they call. I’m nice to my family and they still tell everyone in our town I’m a democrat bc they want them to yell at me. or they’ll let my twin physically

-hurt me, let her tell everyone we know that I’m a dumbass. but I get in trouble for rolling my eyes at her. etc, you get the point. you CAN be kind, but you can also be a bitch the SECOND you aren’t receiving kindness back, and you should be able to bc kindness genuinely gets you absolutely nowhere

well yeah, but nobody said in the original post that you have to continue to be nice if people are actively treating you like shit

I think the way to go is be natural until they deserve kindness

I know what you’re saying. don’t only be nice bc people give you things when you’re nice to them. but I’m saying they don’t even do that so no point in being nice

close but still no dice. at least what i got from the post (& how i approach kindness) is that it is more of smth i do bc of who i am/who i strive to be as a person. i want to be a kind person so i try my best to act kindly to ppl regardless of how they treat me (good or bad). ofc this doesnt mean i let ppl walk all over me or act horribly towards me without any boundaries its just a general disposition & way i try to approach my interactions w ppl

I’m not saying you shouldn’t be kind. I’m just saying it’s true. kindness gets you nowhere and nothing which I’m aware you shouldn’t be kind to get benefits from it but it doesn’t make the statement untrue

i feel like ur contradicting urself here. in ur previous comment u said "im saying they dont even do that so no point in being nice" & then i clarified why i see a point in being kind & now ur saying this which doesnt completely align unless im misunderstanding smth

WHAT🙁🙁🙁 i have tried my very hardest to only speak in me & i terms & to be respectful bc from the very beginning i didnt want this to go the wrong way (which is why i was very adamant that it came across properly & not like i was attacking u) bc I KNOW IM ONLY SPEAKING FOR MYSELF🙁 i said "i feel like" & "what i got from the post" throughout the convo to ensure this was the case OFC U CAN HAVE A DIFF OPINION GIRL I WASNT TRYING TO CHANGE UR MIND ONLY TRYING TO HAVE A DISCUSSION IM SORRY

it’s okay I’ll be a little fair. I mean what I said somewhat stands but I was also like deep into thoughts about how much my future is wrecked bc of Trump when I commented that so I was especially not in the mood. you’re very sweet though, you handled my comment well. I’m glad there’s people like you in the world
