You got it in one! People that think kindness is
weakness . . . .are as thick as 2 planks! Of course it
is ok to be kind, but one must not overdo it,and one
must be careful WHO one is kind too! With others,
look out for the 'seemingly' small things,do they
put other people down,how are they with money,
do they tip, what is their world view,do they show
any compassion? (for instance some tragedy on news), all these and more seep out in one way or
another.So take it on board,this is your job,to see
what seeps out, not just to go along passively just
enjoying someone, (that can change in a flash).
You become,in a way,a detective,and so watch,and
think things over. Also,don't be aggressive,get some
books on being assertive (which is having your say
without abusing the other). E.G. " Sorry,that's not
acceptable to me," rather than "Piss off!"
