@firsttimeonearth0: “you used to be nice, oh god maybe you never used to be” Performative niceness is always something I see through. I would rather someone be upfront, set boundaries even if it came out harsh because at least it’s honest. I find myself gravitating to those people. #genz #selfreminder #advice #motivation #thoughts

unfortunately when you feel kindness so deeply and truly in your bones you feel betrayal and out of place as much

I have a professional smile, I am not nice. I am an asshole even, but I am kind.

I’d argue the opposite. The beauty of kindness is that everyone has it within them, from birth, we can be kind, should we be raised in the environment it breeds. It is there, waiting for you to discover it

But who gave you the right to label another person as unkind simply because you don’t connect with them? What makes you believe you can accurately identify “performative niceness” from the outside? On what basis are you deciding that someone’s kindness is performative rather than genuine? It seems worth considering that making assumptions about another person’s intentions in this way can itself reflect a degree of self-centeredness, because it places your interpretation of them above their own stated intentions or lived reality. That judgment may not be as kind, objective, or insightful as it feels in the moment.

people always confuse kindness with nice. Nice is an action and Kindness is a genuine character trait.

being genuinely kind is something you have to be careful with these days. sometimes, it only ends up hurting you. that’s why I think it’s enough to just be nice. being genuinely kind can be exhausting too. I believe most people are naturally kind, but after certain experiences, they learn to put up boundaries. they realize that simply being nice is enough. and honestly, that’s okay. sometimes being nice is all you can give without losing yourself in the process.

see i believe that everyone can be kind, but being genuine is something that can’t be taught. i really value sincerity in friendships - it is so easy for someone to say that they are happy for you, or proud of you, but for me recognising that it’s not genuine is a difference i can identify. it’s not necessarily meaning that they don’t wish to see me happy, or that there’s any malicious intent, it is just that i can notice when someone genuinely means what they say. and unfortunately, sincerity and feeling genuine feelings towards someone is something that can’t be taught, it is just what they truly feel or happens over time.

kindness is a muscle, of course it can be taught. But it needs consistency, to make sure that muscle stay strong, no one is born kind.

It sounds to me like the distinction you're making is between niceness (a conditional warmth and generosity) and kindness (an unconditional and therefore genuine warmth and generosity). I'd be interested to know more about how the valuation of kindness, niceness, and conditionality may figure when situated in a world where the humanity, dignity, wellbeing, and flourishing of people is viciously conditional.

Your point of view is very interesting, yet I lowk disagree. First of all, I think kindness is learnt. We are born with innate capacity for empathy, compassion and even genuineness. The environment that an individual grows up in is what eventually fills or drains the ability to be kind. So in my point of view, to assume that kindness is innate is a bit ignorant. We never really know what an individual has gone through or is going through. It’s a bit egocentric and intolerant to assume that if the person doesn’t immediately appear genuine to you, they’re unkind. In this case then, you literally deprive them of any opportunity to learn or display kindness under the heavy label. In the end, i believe that 99% of “unkind” people can become kind given the right environment. We might not be all be able to connect, but the lack of connection should not give us privilege to label each other “unkind” forever
