Why do we need motivation to be kind? Everyone deserves basic kindness and respect, there’s nothing that motivates me to kind, everyone deserves kindness, it’s simple as that
I think there’s a difference between being nice and being kind.
As a people pleaser I was nice because it’s how I got approval and acceptance. So you could say nice, with strings attached. This of course ended up building resentment when all the nice things went unnoticed.
Being kind on the other hand is being just that, with no strings or expectations attached.
I’ll be kind, but not nice anymore. Nice me would never say no to anything, ever.
I’ve had people who have started by being mean. When you break it all down it rarely has anything to do with you. Anyhow how I maintained calm is realizing this person has probably been through something or just started their day wrong and usually asking them if they want to talk, you see their shoulders drop and the tension leave their face. People just want to be heard and seen and that’s easy to do. I’ve also gotten a lot of new friends this way. Lots of hugs too.
Everybody – and I mean everybody – is going through some SHIT. Looking at people as humans with their own issues, makes feel like being mean and nasty unnecessarily is such a waste of time
I have no one, grand gesture that will change the world or even improve it. But maybe with a million little ones? Who knows. Anyway, as Phil Daniels once said, “it gives me an enormous sense of wellbeing”
For me it’s just realizing how much a little kindness can change someone’s day. Sometimes people are going through things you can’t see and even a small gesture a smile holding the door or just being patient can make all the difference. I also feel like it creates this positive energy that comes back to you even if it’s not always in the same form
Honestly karma and God and the pain of not treated well also like why to hurt any soul and when someone treat me not well i always think in back of my mind there must be some reason of doing so and it’s true also.
It is just who I am, I enjoy helping people, even when it isn’t something that they will notice. I’m not religious in any way apart from wanting to be kind to people and hoping the world will be a better place.
I treat others the way I like to be treated. Also, seeing someone’s face transform into a smile makes me feel happier. Kindness isn’t always easy, but I give it randomly and as generously as I possibly can, even when I’m miserable
it’s now built into my muscle memory, the benefit is that I am confident that I am welcome and respected in all situations, I have no anxiety about going anywhere
Because I had a horrific childhood and I try to do everything in my power to make sure others don’t experience that pain. Especially caused by me. It is easier to be kind and you never know what some people go home to. Maybe if I put others first and am kind then eventually the world will actually be a place worth living in.
Iv been treated like im an asshole and that sucks and iv had some rly mean ppl around and for some I js felt bad for cause this ain’t a world where we need enemies and idk any other way to bring people together than by being friendly
I know how it feels to be mistreated, and wouldn’t like others to feel the same. And also because it’s easier to be kind than to be petty. Being an asshole requires more mental energy, which I don’t have to begin with.
The idea that none of us know what the other person may be struggling with and who knows… your actions or words just may push them past that edge they were holding onto to avoid suicide. Conversely, being kind may keep alive when they’re fully intent on ending it all that day.
Because the energy u give out, comes right back at u, it bites u in the ass.
I am not a spiritual person, but one thing I sure believe is good and bad karma.
I don’t want to suffer from what people suffered from because of me.
It’s true that some good people have it tough, but they always get rewarded and gifted in a way we don’t get to see 🙂
I truly enjoy making people’s day better. You never know what someone is going through so if I can make them smile and forget about their troubles for a minute I really dig it.
Because I learned that being nice isn’t always just about wanting to but also being able to. A nice person has been treated well, has mistakes overlooked, and has been supported. They’ve been treated with respect.
I don’t want to give away that I’ve been mistreated.
Cause some people has to go through crazy shit in a day and if one kind conversation with them can make them feel better then i would gladly have a good nice conversation with them

Theres no motivation, its the bare minimum required of you as a person to function in a society
Being mean just feels wrong
I had great parents that raised me right ▶️
Them. Look at them—they’re bad ass—you can’t see that?
I like making others feel good.
morality
it feels good to be good to other people. definitely can be super mean but only when deserved lol, always good to have balance
It takes far less energy to be kind than it does to have confrontations, so I guess I’m just lazy.
Empathy
I am just trying to keep my sanity.
Knowing we are all struggling with something
The idea that being kind and nice makes others happy makes me feel happy….
Nothing lol
I’m just scared to offend anybody
Karma. I believe in both bad and good.
It happens naturally for me. It’s a gift, and a curse. 😪
It’s simple. I just don’t want to hurt anyone. Being kind, helping others, doing things for people makes me feel good and I genuinely enjoy it.
My core values, plus kindness fills your cup just as much as it fills another’s.
I’ve been hit in the face a lot.
I don’t really have anything for motivation, I just do it.
It’s the world I want to live in. I believe in doing the right thing.
Treat people how you would want to be treated
I genuinely like people. Not mean people, though.
They’ve experienced pains you may never yourself
They catch glimpses of the good and amazing in life and always fight to propagate that
My daughter
realizing everyone is someone’s kid and how badly i want the world to be kind to my kid.
Why do we need motivation to be kind? Everyone deserves basic kindness and respect, there’s nothing that motivates me to kind, everyone deserves kindness, it’s simple as that
Karma is anywhere
The selfish desire to be treated in similar fashion.
I actually hope that that would make people like me.
But that’s for some reason not how it works. The biggest jerks have the most friends.
I think there’s a difference between being nice and being kind.
As a people pleaser I was nice because it’s how I got approval and acceptance. So you could say nice, with strings attached. This of course ended up building resentment when all the nice things went unnoticed.
Being kind on the other hand is being just that, with no strings or expectations attached.
I’ll be kind, but not nice anymore. Nice me would never say no to anything, ever.
I try and be respectful. Just the way I was raised.
People were not kind to me so I strive to be better than that
Being the positive change in the world I want to see.
Karma theory. As you sow, so shall you reap.
Good karma and hate for drama.
The smile on receiving face
I care to be kind to others. Treat people how you want to be treated.
I had to stop doing that actually, you dont owe anybody anything but yourself. Reserve kindness for your family and friends. To strangers be polite.
When I compare nice people to rude people, it is obvious. The nice people have a better energy. And I am drawn more towards them than the rude ones.
I’ve had people who have started by being mean. When you break it all down it rarely has anything to do with you.

I’m not sure. Maybe because I know how much it sucks to be treated badly 🤷🏻♀️.
Everybody – and I mean everybody – is going through some SHIT. Looking at people as humans with their own issues, makes feel like being mean and nasty unnecessarily is such a waste of time
The faint hope that they’ll pass it on.
I have no one, grand gesture that will change the world or even improve it. But maybe with a million little ones? Who knows. Anyway, as Phil Daniels once said, “it gives me an enormous sense of wellbeing”
Peace x
Empathy.
I feel so motherfucking good when I know I did my bit to help someone
Inner peace
Life is too hard. Kindness is the best gift you can give a stranger
because it would be a nicer place to live if everyone is just nicer to each other
For me it’s just realizing how much a little kindness can change someone’s day. Sometimes people are going through things you can’t see and even a small gesture a smile holding the door or just being patient can make all the difference. I also feel like it creates this positive energy that comes back to you even if it’s not always in the same form
Just wanna see how kind I can be. Never know the limit.
Everyone is fighting a silent battle you dont know about. I try to treat others how i would like to be treated
More often than not, being a dick to other people is just shooting myself in the foot
Kind is the default
The golden rule: do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
The urge to be mean isn’t there most of the time. Iunno… Being nice to someone is much more enjoyable!
It feels good to be good
The world awful enough place as it is so I don’t have any desire to add to the shitiness of it
Honestly karma and God and the pain of not treated well also like why to hurt any soul and when someone treat me not well i always think in back of my mind there must be some reason of doing so and it’s true also.
Literally nothing lol that’s just how I was raised I guess
It is just who I am, I enjoy helping people, even when it isn’t something that they will notice. I’m not religious in any way apart from wanting to be kind to people and hoping the world will be a better place.
Why would you need motivation?
It’s my character and what’s more, I was raised very well 😁
I treat others the way I like to be treated. Also, seeing someone’s face transform into a smile makes me feel happier. Kindness isn’t always easy, but I give it randomly and as generously as I possibly can, even when I’m miserable
Because being mean makes me feel sad.
I’d hate to be the reason someone’s day got worse.
it’s now built into my muscle memory, the benefit is that I am confident that I am welcome and respected in all situations, I have no anxiety about going anywhere
Idk, empathy
The world’s already filled with enough assholes. Why add to it? Be kind
Because for every shit ass person I’ve met, I’ve met 20 more really good, kind and nice people.
Also, fuck you, Josh. I hope you die of scabies and impetigo. And maybe Typhus.
Thinking of GOD…
It’s the world I want to live in. I can only control my contribution so I try and do my part.
Love makes the world go round.
Nothing. Its just who i am and i would rather hve more friends than enemy.
Empathy.
Understanding how shit someones circumstances are
Life’s too short to be rude and mean
Because I had a horrific childhood and I try to do everything in my power to make sure others don’t experience that pain. Especially caused by me. It is easier to be kind and you never know what some people go home to. Maybe if I put others first and am kind then eventually the world will actually be a place worth living in.
Kindness, decency, the thought of my dad’s voice living inside my head. You know, the usual.
Iv been treated like im an asshole and that sucks and iv had some rly mean ppl around and for some I js felt bad for cause this ain’t a world where we need enemies and idk any other way to bring people together than by being friendly
Cause why not(: unless they absolutely don’t deserve it.
A good convo and a hug, i crave those, especially the latter one, more than a ‘good night sleep’.
Guilt. If I’m mean to people I feel bad about myself. When I say something that hurts someone I am ashamed.
On the flipside, I feel good about myself when I am kind and especially if there is a noticeable improvement. It feels fulfilling.
Wait, is this not how most people feel?
no reason not to
I know how it feels to be mistreated, and wouldn’t like others to feel the same. And also because it’s easier to be kind than to be petty. Being an asshole requires more mental energy, which I don’t have to begin with.
Having been bullied as a kid, and knowing what kindness, or the lack of it can do to a person.
Jesus
trying to be the person i want my daughter to see
You don’t need a reason to help people.
The idea that none of us know what the other person may be struggling with and who knows… your actions or words just may push them past that edge they were holding onto to avoid suicide. Conversely, being kind may keep alive when they’re fully intent on ending it all that day.
It’s innate and I also don’t want people to feel how others have made me feel
I treat others exactly like I would like to be treated
Nothing, it’s just inside.
Because the energy u give out, comes right back at u, it bites u in the ass.
I am not a spiritual person, but one thing I sure believe is good and bad karma.
I don’t want to suffer from what people suffered from because of me.
It’s true that some good people have it tough, but they always get rewarded and gifted in a way we don’t get to see 🙂
Treating others the way you’d like to be treated & aligning oneself with that which is good
treat people the way you wanna be treated
A healthy fear of God
I don’t need to be motivated wtf.
What motivates you to be cruel and mean to others
Every time people treated me wrong. I don’t want to be like them
My day is better when people are nice and kind to me.
I know how it feels when people are nasty and wouldn’t want to inflict that on someone else.
The golden rule. It’s the first thing I remember learning. Also, it just feels right.
I don’t want anyone to feel as rejected as I have felt in my life.
I don’t like seeing people hurt or in need.
It’s more selfish than you’d think. I can’t enjoy my own if some one else is without.
If you need to be “motivated” to not be an asshole, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons.
Not being an asshole should be your default setting.
remembering that everyone’s life is as complex as mine
Because I can.
Being miserable is pretty exhausting also you never know what someone is already going through
I truly enjoy making people’s day better. You never know what someone is going through so if I can make them smile and forget about their troubles for a minute I really dig it.
Isn’t it the basic common sense not to be a dick and why would one even need motivation for that?
Because the world has too much negativity I should not treat others like that
Remembering that no single conscious living thing on this planet was brought into existence by its own consent
Because I learned that being nice isn’t always just about wanting to but also being able to. A nice person has been treated well, has mistakes overlooked, and has been supported. They’ve been treated with respect.
I don’t want to give away that I’ve been mistreated.
Being kind feels good, acting unkindly feels bad…
Uhh, just basic human decency? I don’t need motivation, I do it because it’s just the right and normal thing to do.
Because I’d rather have people be nice and kind to me. It’s very simple.
Cause that’s how I like to be treated …. Until proven otherwise
It’s just so damn easy
Nothing. It’s just natural instinct
I was brought up not dragged up
Being an asshole is for idiots.
Being nice to people feels nice. Being mean doesn’t feel nice.
It’s free
Cause some people has to go through crazy shit in a day and if one kind conversation with them can make them feel better then i would gladly have a good nice conversation with them
Nothing. What qualifies as “nice” and “kind”? Basic manners? It’s stuck with me, because I was raised right.
Bringing others Joy brings me joy. Plain and simple.
Nothing,it is who I am,until you screw with me or my family,then I become someone completely different.
