Hello, I'm Kelly.
Today, I read your question about kindness. Let's discuss it together and have a chat.
I have experienced these kinds of confusion too.
My childhood friend came to my house and asked me to go for a walk. When I saw her, I said, "Your skin looks better and smoother than last year." She said, "Your long hair doesn't look good, and short hair doesn't look good either."
I replied, "Really?" After that, I thought more about it and realized I'd been bullied. I didn't express how I felt.
From this passage, it is clear that the questioner is a person with love in his heart and beauty in his eyes. When you see that your friend's skin has improved, you will take the initiative to tell her how you feel.
Your friend says you don't look good with long or short hair. What do you think?
Do you really think that neither long nor short hair looks good on you?
You think you don't look good with short hair when you grow up. Has anyone else said that to you?
If my childhood friend says this, I will have my own opinion.
1: It's possible that you're better than your childhood friend in every way, and she's jealous of you.
2: You have a gentle temperament and rarely attack others. Your childhood friend is in the habit of saying this about you, and you have always accepted it and approved.
3: Is the childhood friend emotional? If you are better than her in every way, she will find her own sense of existence by criticizing you.
4: Is your childhood friend someone who doesn't know how to praise and appreciate others? Do they always say things like that, or just occasionally?
5: You've been friends since childhood, but that doesn't mean things won't change. People grow up and lead their own lives, and your thoughts and aesthetics will evolve along with them.
She's wrong.
6: We can choose freely. For example, I have a childhood friend whose marriage is not going well. When we met before, she expressed her jealousy a few times and belittled me. I understand that she is unhappy, and as her childhood friend, I have been tolerant of her. However, I would choose to have less contact with her.
7: Jealousy is common among childhood friends, some girlfriends, even close sisters, good classmates, good colleagues, etc. It arises from the gap between one party being good and the other being bad, and it often occurs because they will feel very familiar and the environment is similar.
We simply don't feel jealous of people who are very distant from us.
I will not defend myself if someone attacks me.
I am too kind and have no principles. I need to set boundaries in my relationships. I don't know myself well. Is the psychological platform test accurate?
Know your strengths and weaknesses.
The questioner is unable to protect himself, and I want to know if there are many people attacking you.
I firmly believe that being gentle and kind makes people like you. If you're facing a lot of attacks, it's time to grow.
You don't need to change yourself if it's a childhood friend or an individual.
This personality brings you more gains than losses.
Kindness is a good quality. Most people like it. If you are attacked, it's not your fault. It's the other person's problem.
You can learn without principles and boundaries. There are many ways to grow yourself, such as reading, spending more time with people who encourage you, and exploring yourself more.
You should also find out if you were an obedient and sensible person in your family of origin, someone who listened to your parents.
Some people believe that there are limits to what you can do and say. They believe that boundaries are a protective wall for personal growth, and that a sense of boundaries is the best way to cultivate a person.
Some people also believe that you have to break through the status quo to create greater value.
We must be good to ourselves, protect ourselves, and distinguish between our own affairs and those of others.
[Another thing. You need to understand what values are.
Values are different for everyone. They are about what you value more, what is more important to you, and your own choices.
It is not always the case that couples and family members share the same values.
Values are deep-rooted and long-lasting. They directly influence and shape our ideals, beliefs, goals, and pursuits.
You should ask yourself what kind of person you like and what your values are.
You can choose to become whatever kind of person you want, and you will attract the same kind of people.
I was having a great conversation with a friend of the opposite sex, but then he suddenly disappeared. I sent him several messages but he didn't respond. His behavior was rude and disrespectful. It made me feel like my value is inferior to his. Is it true that guys and girls can't be friends? Does the guy on a blind date have to clarify the relationship?
He'll only chat with you warmly if he thinks there's a possibility. Otherwise, he'll just keep his distance. I feel like relationships are confrontational.

This passage shows the confusion of the questioner. You are having a heated conversation with a member of the opposite sex. The topic is uninteresting to him or he feels unable to answer you.
If he quits, will anything else happen?
If you have an emergency and your phone battery is low, wait a little longer.
The questioner knows how to respect others and expects to be respected in return. We must start by respecting ourselves.
You can also gain respect through your actions. If a friend flakes on you, it's because they don't know how to respect others, not because of you.
You gain respect and recognition from others through certain things. A teacher, for example, gains respect and recognition through their teaching ability.
The doctor relies on his medical expertise to help the patient and receive help from the patient.
You can't change other people. Based on what you said about your blind date, we can learn about ourselves by reflecting on our interactions and those of others. We can identify patterns and avoid repeating mistakes.
Everyone has their own thoughts. We understand each other through communication. It's mutual. We choose to continue a relationship if it's suitable or part ways if it's not.
You can't change others, and you can't be changed by them either.
You respect his choice, and he respects yours. This is a mutual agreement.
You are also welcome to continue exploring and communicating, and grow together.
Congratulations on your well-being!

Comments
Your comment about my skin was nice, but I felt a bit taken aback by your honesty on my hairstyle. It's not often that someone points out two negatives in one go. I left it alone at the time, but later it really got to me. How do you handle criticism without letting it affect you too much?
I appreciate your honesty, yet it stung more than I expected. Reflecting on it, I wondered if there's a way to receive such remarks without feeling like I'm being attacked. Maybe I need to work on building thicker skin and setting boundaries for myself.
It's hard when someone tells you outright that they don't think you look good either way. I didn't know how to react in the moment. Afterwards, I realized I should have expressed that her comments made me uncomfortable. Now I'm thinking about ways to assert myself better next time.
Your feedback left me questioning my appearance and selfworth. I've been contemplating what it means to set personal boundaries and stand up for myself. It's a challenge because I want to be kind but also firm with others.
The conversation brought up a lot of questions for me about selfperception and the value we place on ourselves. I'm considering whether I should take more initiative in understanding my own worth and not rely so heavily on external validation.
