Yep, being kind doesn't mean you can't set boundaries with people. In fact, not setting them means you aren't being kind to yourself.

@Rutterman Exactly!

True. It is unfortunate that some people mistake another's natural inclination to be kind, as an expectation they should be able to treat them like a doormat.

@Piper You can be genuinely good even if you say no to people

Of course you can, @Queendragonfly. I replied in a not at all serious way, in response to what I thought was meant by "or as a phony". I may have been wrong about how I perceived the comment I replied to, but my reply was sarcasm.

@Piper I understood it as sarcasm and chuckled!

@Coralmist It's a practice but the more you do it the more you it becomes. Thank you I'm glad you appreciated it. I'm a former doormat, but now I'm a boundary setting mtforker!

@WillaKissing And genuine is also to say No.

I find just saying NO without giving a reason funny... that person loses sh*t...
