I asked in the tech forum. Kindness 2.0 is actually powering Psych Central. Amazing stuff. =)

This is said to represent Abraham Lincoln's religion:
“When I do good, I feel good, and when I do bad, I feel bad, and that’s my religion.”

Better to feel fake and spread a little love around, slip, I think, than either of the alternatives. Surprisingly many people don't care how genuine the kindness is.

??? I guess some times just smiling and walking by would make me feel less fake, but I have a hard time walking by without stopping to contribute when the situation calls. I have been taught all my life that you do everything you can for others no matter what. I just feel like I don't have any of myself left. I have always been a genuine accepting person and people always know where they stand with me, so feeling fake crushes me inside. When I am depressed I really struggle with this internal conflict.
Sorry for turning a positive conversation negative. Kindness is better than many alternatives. |

It's ok, slip! I think it feels wonderful to help people. I also recognize that I gotta back off from doing so sometimes. It's a case-by-case scenario. Remember that you help most people the most by being strong yourself.
When I was young, I was really upset one day over some bit of news, I can't remember what it was. Probably something about homelessness, as that always affected me quite a lot (and still does, to some degree). I mentioned this to my step-mother, who told me that if you want to help, that's noble, but you have to be in a position to help first. (I wasn't quite old enough to be giving away anything useful, except maybe some of my crappier Transformers). Nowadays, I give when I can, and when I can't, remember to when I can again. =) That being said, feeling fake is certainly a valid feeling. I once gave my other poptart to a homeless guy in north Seattle once on my way to a job interview. I had butterflies in my stomach, so I KNEW the only reason I was giving it to him was because I wasn't going to eat it. But that didn't make him appreciate it any less. He turned out to be a pretty cool guy, and my day was significantly better for it. Why do all my stories have homeless people in them? Anyway, I feel like fake, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, and sometimes being true to yourself means feeling fake for a little bit, you know? </font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font> i never accept an upgrade that ends in .0 ...that's old school! </div></font></blockquote><font class="post"> Kindness 1.3 was a mess. It kept serving itself. I'm grateful for the upgrade.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
