Depends on the context.If you're talking about attitude, I'm cordial.

If you're talking about giving a bum a dollar on the street, out of the goodness of my heart, no, get a job.

I think so, though many would probably disagree.

Why don't you tell me? Personally, I'd say my kindness is fickle at best.

Why is it fickle?

I am too kind in real life. For instance, almost daily, I'm the only teenager on the morning bus who gives his seat up for the older people. (Pretty sad more people don't.) Over the internet, I don't have the same kindness. Though, in both real life and the internet, I'm quite blunt and willing to say my opinion.

Can you explain why kindess never extends to what you say IRL or online?

To those who deserve it (IMO). That list is quite limited. The rest? Pretty much the opposite.

Can kindness be so selective?


Of course, lol.  

Indeed. We're dealing with a youth though so maybe that question should be expected.


Mmhmm. I am simply unapproachable for anyone who manages to ****** me off somehow before I actually start giving a damn about them. And that, mind you, is not hard to do at all. Happens quite often.

Then there's the in-between. If you (OP) ever find yourself on my friends list, I think you'll see I am more often than not making small talk or joking around with a lot of people on the feed and/or some threads. Doesn't go beyond that, for the most part. No serious talk, I don't open up, I'm not interested in having the person opening up to me, et cetera. I wouldn't consider most of what I do with those "kind" at all.

If you're kind in only certain instances and you consciously decide certain people are unworthy of your kindness, are you actually a kind person? I wouldn't think so, and the question is, in general IRL, online, or in both arenas, are you kind? And it can be argued that for real kindness to manifest an element of uncertainty, dislike, or hate is essential in a relationship. If your definition of kindness is different, however, please elaborate.


I'm a kind person, but when it comes to certain situations and people, I won't shy away from being an ass. It always takes a lot and I mean a lot to provoke me to get to a point, where I ain't so nice.  If you're looking at an online perspective, I'm always open to others people opinions, even if I don't agree and I consider that being an aspect of "kind" because a lot of people online won't give you a second look if your opinion differs from them or they'll point you out because of "x" whatever. It really depends on whatever the circumstance is and who you are and the way you've been raised, IMO.  Nature vs nurture can be an aspect of this obviously too, but ponies.

Op I think you are kind.

The kind of person that would do someone in the Arse and not have the common courtesy to give them a reach around. What are you doing in my beloved corp?

Why do you have to be an "ass", as you put it, when your kindess expires?

More or less applies to myself. It's not so much shy as just being very... introverted I guess is the word? I can talk to people, if I want to. I'm not quiet because I can't talk to them. I'm just quiet because I choose to be such. If a person initiates a conversation with me, I'll take part in it like any other person.

But it's not like I choose to keep to myself all the time.

Anyway, I'm patient with people -- unless they start to insult my character and intelligence, at which point I'm prone to being a sarcastic **** to them. And that's at the very least. At most, I'll go full-blown angry bastard -- and generally kind to anyone. People that know me well know me as an eccentric, crazy, weird, perverted*, sarcastic, and funny guy.

Only maybe twenty people know me that well, outside of family.

People that don't know me probably assume I'm a serial killer or make other judgements about me based on what they think they know of me, but not what they actually know of me. And that's due to how quiet and serious I tend to be. More's the pity, for it shows their own problems. But it's not something I care about in the vein of "Why don't they get to know me?".

*perverted in a good way.

EDIT: Though I should note that it's easy to ****** me off. It doesn't just take blatant insults to who I am. I've got a very short temper. And I'm sarcastic a lot of the time, but people should be able to tell the difference between my "lovable sarcasm" and my "douchebag sarcasm".

Some people have a stubborn perspective and refuse to look past what X person or Y person says, or even take the time to talk to some and form there own opinion. It the herding instinct built in to all humans.

Honest question, not a judgment. I'm just trying to get a clear picture. -- And bearing these characteristics, you believe you are a kind individual?

This tells me that you can be a fun person to hang around casually, but this doesn't actually tell me that you are a kind person. So, do you consider yourself kind?

In general? Not at all. I think of myself as a fairly cold person, really.

Oh... You, you want to know about me? Well... I'm a bit coy, bashful in a sense some have said. I often hold my inner most opinions inward instead of voicing them, I'm afraid most of the time... The world is so trying these days, leaving the house is usually a gauntlet, particularly if I must go to the super market for food stuffs, or booz. I drink a lot these days... I often find confinement in giving others a shoulder to hang their head on, not cry, cry is hurtful, no tears. Never.

I often give whatever coin I have to strangers when accosted, I mean propositioned. I don't mean that I mind such an endeavor as reaching into my trouser pocket. Sometimes living in a city I venture into the night on a stroll or ride in pursuit of vandals, reporting my findings through the crime information line, not often has this ever happened.

I haven't hit many people... Or had emotional outburst numbering the dozens... There is no rage, there is only the beer coozie and metal polish. I haven't commuted to numerous wenches... Their endeavors are sometimes burdensome and their tears..., luke warm tears... Many women have hanged their heads in my loin, when we were in times of need.

Cooking...
