Kind doesn’t always mean nice. It means human, it means recognizing the soul that sometimes gets buried.

Kind means lowering your guard. And people will just step over you if you do. I prefer to be the grumpy asshole over getting abused by my surroundings. I’m tired of draining myself by „giving back“. And honestly even more tired of people propagating positivity when it doesn’t work.

You’re confusing kind with nice.

floderhurensohn.bsky.social•57 days ago

Being kind doesn’t help. It is about others feeling good about themselves rather than making any real change.

Empathy doesn’t pay bills or fix anything. It’s just a way to pretend you’re involved while feeling good about it.

Still confusing kindness with niceness. Empathy is remembering that we are all connected. It’s not giving anything that’s not already belonging to it all.

Kind can seem cruel sometimes. Kind is the truth that nice pretends to be

Doesn’t line up with my life experience at all. Everyone is on their own. Only if you can keep yourself afloat will you avoid drowning. Let’s agree to disagree I guess my PoV is too far if the norm here. No desire to drag others down.

It’s not far from the norm, I think everyone feels as you do at some point. But the universe has a way of forcing you to confront that connection. That point may not have happened to you yet. When it does, trust it—don’t fight it. It’ll happen regardless it’s easier when you let go of that control 🫶
