Giving and receiving kindness is a choice. You gotta let people choose.

When you force kindness to people who don't want your version of it, they just turn them bitter. For all you know, maybe your kindness could harm or bother them in ways you aren't privy of, ways they couldn't tell you. Or maybe what you're doing is actually plain annoying or disturbing to them but they're too polite to tell you. Please be more sensitive about it and your own heart. Forcing things on people is a sign of you trying to be manipulative and controlling. Be aware of your own intentions.

And when people are kind to you, give them the choice. Someone being kind to you doesn't mean they want you constantly in their life or forcing yourself on taking over their time.

Someone people are too nice. Doesn't mean they want you taking advantage of it.

Give people the ability to say yes or no without feeling bad about it.[/b] This applies to friends, family, workmate, strangers and even yourself. People in position should be more sensitive and less ignorant about this.

When you take away people's choice, they could just end up resenting you.
