Kindness is not a personality trait, it’s a skill you have to work on continuously and we all inevitably fail at being kind sometimes. But if you follow these tips often, you’ll be on the right track.
Pay attention to how well you play with others
Did you react too quickly?
Did you yell because they yelled?
When this happens, pause and notice it.
See it their way
Consider the situation from the other person’s point of view.
What led them to do what they did or think the way they do.
Rehumanize the other person
In digital interactions, consider the person saying or typing the words.
Take a pause
Rushing makes us feel stressed, which makes it difficult to practice empathy and kindness.
Make it a habit
Schedule time to volunteer, call a lonely friend or do someone a favor.

I found this torn-out page in my Bible today, it’s been there since 2021.
All fantastic ways to improve our kindness but more importantly our communication skills.

If only everyone could be just a little bit kinder, a little more respectful.

Yes! This right here!! Very well said. We all have our own dialogue and how we feel about the things we say and do. Regardless if someone has a different perspective, we must take into consideration their feelings on the subject and respect how they feel.

It’s not worth changing you setting s to let more people comment, all you get is Spam and more Spam. I got 54 yesterday. I changed my settings back nowhere someone has to be logging into to WP.

I didn’t change my settings for that reason. I changed my settings because my friend on Facebook wasn’t able to like or comment on my blogs.
