you feel unappreciated no matter how kind you are and how generous and giving you are

kindness nowadays can be seen as a sign of weakness

#

learn to play your cards and play like how others play

I dont know why kindness is a sign of weakness- but it feels like walking on a doormat when others should appreciate

you dont be kind expecting something in return

#

what you're doing rn is creating more opportunities hoping more people will want to work with you in the foreseeable future

i heard this once

#

if kindness is done with the mindset of receiving something in return, it isnt

#

i think it applies a bit here, because when i hold doors for people, get made fun of sometimes, or shit like that i dont really see it as bad

#

when you hold the door open for someone, help someone out with their relationship, pick up someones books if they fall

#

these are all, in a sense, for your own benefit

#

by holding the door open you learn to be unconditionally nice to all, by helping someone out with their relationship you look out for things to avoid in your own, by picking up someones books you learn how to be sympathetic and help out
