How do you find the balance between kindness and not leading people on?
Kindness and not being taken advantage of
Kindness and not over extending yourself because you must fill your own cup too
Kindness with out getting fatigued or burnt out when the same is not shown to you in return
Other people need to pour into you so you can both grow
Kindness to yourself before others
Kindness but drawing the line and having boundaries when you feel uncomfortable
Because when you put other people's feelings first you become a doormat for others to step on and disregard you
You get underminded, underestimated, made fun of or feel invisible when you aren't assertive and stand up for yourself
Kindness is not always the most important thing, sometimes taking care of yourself must come first
Because if you don't take care of yourself and treat yourself with respect you can't expect others to
Be kind yes, but first be kind to yourself by asserting yourself and standing up for yourself when necessary
And never forget your worth or let people push your boundaries, be firm in who you are and what you need and want for yourself
