Tired of everyone in my life telling me to stop being kind. I can’t cut people off on a whim, I’m a very forgiving person and I like giving people chances and the benefit of the doubt. If I’m not kind I don’t know who I am

😵What you allow in your life (ie poor behavior, bigotry, inconsideration, etc.),
you‘re subconsciously saying this behavior is ok. I know, I know. ”But what does it say about me if I am not accepting of others?”
In the grand scheme, you’re saying “I’m ok with people treating those I care about like shit.“
This is a hard one to learn. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, that same benefit of the doubt is enabling flat out shitty people to keep being shitty people.
So what do you do? You want to make sure everyone feels cared for? Start with yourself. The next time that one friend who says everything that’s on their mind hurts your feelings, tell them. watch How they react. Watch if they do it again. And decide from there. Because at the end of the day, you aren‘t obligated to keep people in your life, whatever the reason.

It's truly not hard to be kind, to return a smile or 'hello'. I swear some people thrive on bitterness as if its their form of water. It really bothers me more when its someone who's constantly present in my life; its almost like they're a thorn I'm constantly snagged by. We're not enemies by any means (at least in my eyes) but their presence is more like a constant ache.
It's a harsh reminder that not everyone is meant to be kind, or kind to you no matter how understanding I try to be.

😎there’s that whole thing with being a former gifted kid, or even just an outgoing person, or a highly involved/high achiever. maybe just a really happy, entertaining type.
i feel like i’ve lost that part of myself, and i’ve tried to become like other people, but that didn’t really work either. i want to be MORE, but it’s so hard sometimes, y’know?
if you feel that way, i hope you know ,and remember always, YOU ARE STRONG. existing can be exhausting, in any capacity, and you should give yourself grace for that. be kind to yourself!

They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but I don’t want to be on either side of a fence, I just want to be free
