Is your kindness ever mistaken for weakness?

Those that know me, know.
Those that just met me will soon know.

OF COURSE I'M ALSO AN EMOTIONAL CRIPPLE BUT I CAN TURN INTO A WERE-BITCH

what kindness?

It's better to give than receive anyway. lol

I have twin 8 year old GIRLS and a WIFE....of course my kindness is mistaken for weakness. They call it being soft though. My sons call me sucker! lol

It takes a lot to get through my exterior and let you see my kind side. I never make myself vulnerable to anyone I do not know I can trust, or to anyone I'm not sure I can slap down if I need to.

My daughter recently ran into the street and caught a young boy from getting hit by an oncoming car. As she walked back, the boys "Mother" came at her calling her all kinds of names for touching her son. I would have knocked that idiot right off her feet, my daughter felt horrible and upset by it. I would rather not get involved and keep myself from going to jail. I'm sorry, but most people are just far too stupid for me to get involved with anymore.

Dang that makes me sick. Mostly because I've seen stuff like that happen with my own two eyes. It's hard for me NOT to be completely jaded, bitter, hardassed, etc. when ungrateful idiots like that are running rampant in the world. You're daughter sounds like a topnotch person.

it's definitely a mistake

Also,,,,naive...bark

Yes it is, people seem to think because I'm nice they can manipulate, bully and attack me. They sure find out how very wrong they are. Mean people don't know how to deal with someone that is nice and kind. I guess their miserable life is an indicator of how they act toward others.

Odd statement. How do these "mean" people find out how wrong they are, if you are such a nice and kind woman? I've never met a nice and kind person who could take me on when I'm being "mean". I never go out and look for nice people to harass, but I do have a temper I admit. So, I'm in your face being "mean" - would you teach me a lesson by being nice and kind to me? Would that be your way of showing me how wrong I am? Yikes!!! I pray we never get into that situation......

Many times have I tried to avoid confrontation,and it was taken as a sign of weakness to the point i would then have to get in their face.People are truly ignorant.

Yep! But then there's an opportunity to be even kinder and show em how weak it was to act in such a way.

Hopefully not. I'm kind, yet I'm far from weak

Don't see how it could be..I'm pretty much straight forward.

All the time! I have a babyish voice so people mistake it as a weakness. Til I prove them different!..

Unfortunately, most people view kindness as weakness.

People know where they stand with me and what I'll put up with. I'm not that deep or soft-spoken.

Some predatory people mistake decency for weakness.

A lot

I think probably so

But, those who make that mistake soon live to regret it.

I think at times it has been mistaken for weakness....

Just remember that it isn't a weakness.

That's right...it isn't. :) Thanks my friend....
