Do any of you find that when people are nice, it makes you feel like crying?

But I guess when you've known something different (in my case, throughout the most formative years of my life as I was scared of my dad..) you will be surprised and moved to realise not everyone is like that - that many people are actually kind, respectful and caring.. |
Yes kindness can be so very touching. A friend of mine has been going through a crisis and everytime I offer to help or give a kind word she goes to tears. I understand it's overwhelming for her.
Myself I have struggled with feelings of being undeserving so accepting kindness can be a challenge, although I am very grateful and appreciative.
