I Dont Get It

I have always had a hard time understanding kindness. I've often felt confused or suspicious if someone was being nice to me. Genuine kindness. The kind where someone buys a homeless person something to eat instead of ignoring them. There have been times in the past when I gave a friend a place to stay or gave my last few dollars to someone else who I felt needed it more. If I am on the receiving end I cannot understand it. Why am I being treated nicely? Why are you helping me? I can't help but to think they want something from me or are trying to get close to me to hurt me by trying to gain my trust.

It’s interesting. Did you have ulterior motives when [b]you[/b] were kind to others ? Most people who don’t understand kindness are not kind themselves, but that doesn’t seem to be so with you. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard no ulterior motives I did it because I cared and wanted to help.

@plague Does it seem so unlikely that others might feel the same way ? 😊
