[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to be kind to everyone I meet but I don't believe in kindness to people who have shown me disrespect and have been less than kind to me. I can remain cordial to those people if I have to but there are those who I will go out of my way for and those who I actively avoid and simply tolerate. I think it's important to show people that kindness only goes so far as there are a lot of people out there looking to take advantage of people who they see as too nice.

But in general, I would rather die knowing that most people have a positive opinion of me vs. thinking I'm a jerk.[/quote]

This is so interesting, I have no need to show people that kindness only goes so far. If it’s someone I don’t respect, I’m actually less likely to call them out. I’m just going to try to move around them as quickly and easily as possible. I try to do it without being blatantly disingenuous. But if there’s someone who has treated me wrong, I don’t want to convince them of that or teach them anything. I just want to steer clear. [/quote]
