#I have had people go from absolutely furious and calling me nasty things to apologising and even having a friendly conversation

[crabussy]

hey there, I’m speaking from personal experience. frequent experience. and also as someone who was bullied and mistreated for most of my life by my peers. you don’t have to listen to this advice but I at least want you to know I’m not some naive overly-trusting person who has always had people be kind to him. I’m sorry you feel this way about being kind, I don’t want to assume anything about you, but in most cases people feel this way because they’ve been taken for granted and treated unkindly. if that’s the case for you, I’m really sorry, and I get it. being kind feels like a ridiculous approach when people haven’t been kind to you. you don’t have to, but I’d encourage you to just try it. just once.

I hope you have a good day [:

I'm so serious about being kind above all else. it has genuinely changed the way I interact with the world on a fundamental level and has made me so so much happier.
