⋆. 𐙚˚࿔ Kindness and people nowadays 𝜗𝜚˚⋆
I see plenty of kind people in 2026 but there's so much people that are just mean just because they can or because they want to take advantage of kind people and it makes me so mad, why are we doing this?
As a kind person myself, at least I try to be, I can't recall the last time someone didn't try to take advantage of me or to be mean with me thinking I wouldn't do anything. These kind of people are so discouraging, they make me want to be mean too, and I just can't stop thinking about how kind everyone used to be years ago. Everyone had their own personalities, and of course I'm not saying there wasn't mean people before but they definitely were less than there are today!
A few weeks ago, my mom was attacked by a stranger (I wasn't with her unfortunately) and she told me that she wasn't alone, that even though she tried to scream and get people's attention, they just kept watching and didn't do anything! Can you believe that omg?? It makes me so mad, and not only because of the fact that's she's my mom I mean, hello? Someone is getting attacked in front of you and you're watching it happen instead of calling the police? This is so crazy to me, why aren't we helping strangers in need?
People are so mean on social media too, the fact that they know we don't know them irl just make them think they have a lot more power therefore they do/ say crazy things. Harassing people online because you're anonymous is absolutely insane I really don't know how this is so normalized.
Can we even still be kind nowadays without people seeing it as a weakness?
Thank you so much for making this post I have been feeling the exact same way and honestly, it's such a horrible feeling! I've always felt like I've had a little bit more compassion than others (not trying to put myself on a high horse AT ALL!) but like you said I feel like in recent years it's been extra apparent that empathy or even just basic consideration is so often portrayed as weakness when it's just not!! Honestly, I could write a whole post about this as well - but it's nice to know I'm not the only one that feels like this. Anyways I guess there are still good people out there - thank you for this post ♡ p.s I hope your mom is doing better, that is horrible. Sending love ♡
