Are you a kind person?

I always feel like I'm a bit Confused and not very kind lol. My DH says I'm very kind and uses these examples

  1. I started crying when my dog tried to help her injured dog friend. I thought it was sad and realise my dog has real feelings
  1. He says I tolerate his family coming round moaning and am always polite to them.
  1. I feel bad when I don't like people and will include those who are deemed outsiders etc according to him

I just thought that's normal behaviour not kindness?

I try very hard to never say a nasty thing to or about anyone, but I worry I come across as not genuine. But this is who I am. I don't judge people by what they look like, because I'm interested in what makes people tick. I do however judge people for racism, homophobia, and disliking animals. I don't think that makes me kind however.
I think you sound kind OP, and someone I would probably like if I met you irl.

Ha, my dh always tells me I am kind person too. He is always worried that people take advantage of me. And you sound very kind.
But I think it's a good thing, I'd rather be kind, than being horrible. But as averageisgood says, certain things makes me angry too.

I try to be kind but I’m human and sometimes I’m selfish, sometimes I’m lazy, sometimes I’m bitchy. I would hope I’m mostly kind.

I think I am. I know I can come across as quite hard because I expect people to behave "properly" but when the chips are down and people need a bit of kindness I step up.

I’m not naturally kind. I’m pretty critical actually. But I’ve learnt to hide it well and suppress my inner judgy pants.

DoILookArsed · 07/10/2018 22:25

if I am kind by nature it can be a bit crap because I'm frustrated alot lol

I think it all comes down to how you behave. Yes you can get judgy or frustrated in your head, but some of us choose not to show it. And that's kind, I think.

DoILookArsed · 08/10/2018 12:18

I know but I admire people who can show their frustration I seem unable to lol
