    Disagree. Lots of people cover up their shittiness by being nice. Be how you are, be yourself, don’t cater to the world, make the world interesting by being authentically you - unless you’re a conservative, then go fuck yourself.

      This Lemmy thread is wild. The post says “being kind is free” , it doesn’t say shitty people aren’t ever nice. Yet several replies are this weird reaction of “no fuck you being nice is dumb”.

      Does the mere suggestion - that being kind is a good starting point when interacting with others - cause some sort of defensive reaction here?

        “Has no enemies” is the problem

        If you have no enemies then you’re friendly with shitty people and good people, simply because it’s easier for you, not because it’s correct to be kind.

      I switch to kind when it becomes clear that I’ve offended, or more often, to my surprise, hurt feelings. I didn’t mean to hurt you by not noticing you kinda stuff.
