Not as kind as this young man was, but I suspect he has more money than me, but I try and am within my financial limits. He is really doing it right though - Love is what life is for.
I'm nice to everybody but I'm shy and quiet so a lot of times people take advantage of my niceness. That's what happens when you're too nice. Not so much anymore though. But back in middle school. I don't like to disappoint people.
I try to be. It's how I was raised. But sometimes it's very difficult to be kind to political wonks of any stripe. They try to make everything about politics and they really test my patience.
however i dont take crap from snide-comment-producing idiots. if you have something to say be honest about it. otherwise i dont need to hear under the breath idiocies
I suppose the kindness is not to allow them to do that to you - learn to see that they have their story too, and are going through life as they understand to do. Help them do better is a kind thing. If you can do it without making them mad, is top-performing kindness
In addition to it being self serving...i.e. I feel better when I'm nice. If you can brighten someone's day just by smiling or being kind, how awesome! I know I've had my own bad days...shopping with three kids...two of them little... They decided that day, it was ON! They were fighting..yelling...throwing stuff in the cart...trying to climb out. I felt like I could just break down right in the middle of the store. Then some random lady walks up, smiles and says "You know it gets easier, I promise it does." It's been a year and I still remember how that made me feel. Or, standing in a check out line...with one on my hip, trying to keep the other one from grabbing candy from the racks, while telling the older one "No, you're not getting candy." for the millionth time, while trying to unload groceries, while trying to get out my credit card. And, some random person walks up and offers to hold my baby so I can do everything else. Even though I usually turn them down, it means a lot that people care!
Children need to know where the limits are - you need to be dynamic and discipline them - once they know where the limits are, and that you still love them, they will likely improve, for which you praise them. Better the carrot than the stick if you have little donkeys to herd
Yeah, I'm pretty good at disciplining my children. They still have their days though. And, sometimes they get together and schedule their naughty days together. :-/
Actually it depends on my mood. If I am in a bad one, I realize no one wants to be around or hear from a sour puss, and it does nothing for one's social standing or level of success, so I just keep to myself and keep quiet as much as possible when feeling rude. When I am happy though, I try to share it.
I'm a nice person on an everyday basis, but I basically treat you how you treat me. If you're nice and/ or cordial to me, I'll do the same; be an ass, prepare to get bitched at.
I had to put no because this is a negative response. I notice that there is quite an overwhelming presence of regular SH'ers in this poll, and as I have noticed through interaction with them, the majority are not very nice to people in their social media interactions.
Maybe they interpret this questions as " Are you kind to others...except in social media?"

Just a thought....
