Hello! I'm Chi Lu Zi, and I'm on a mission to grow and help myself and others in any way I can!
It's so inspiring to read your story! It's amazing to see how much warm, enthusiastic help and support you've received from so many kind people on the Yiyi platform. It's truly made you happy and feel enlightened. Reading your words fills my heart with joy!
But at the same time, you feel anxious and guilty. From your story, it mainly comes from the fact that you want to express your gratitude properly, but you are unable to do so due to energy issues. This conflict and contradiction make me feel your exhaustion and pain, but I know you can get through it!
When someone is kind to you, it's only natural to want to thank and repay them. After all, you want to reciprocate all that kindness! But if you don't thank and repay them, you might feel a bit anxious. That's because when someone is kind to us, we have this huge stone hanging in our hearts, wondering how to thank and repay them. We might even have a series of questions pending in our minds, like whether the gratitude is appropriate, whether it is too light or too heavy. But don't worry, there's no need to fret!
I don't know if the questioner is in a similar situation. If so, I seem to see my former self. In order to avoid this kind of conflict, I used to blindly reject the kindness of others, not easily accept gifts from others, and immediately return the favor if I accepted it; not easily accept help from others, and try to compensate for it if I accepted it, invite the person back if I was invited to dinner, or insist on paying for it, etc. This made me very tired and troubled. I couldn't help but ask why I was like this, so I asked my friends around me. I was very impressed. It was because of this conversation that I instantly felt open and began my own journey of change.
I was really excited to ask her, "When you usually receive gifts from others or are invited to dinner, do you feel pressured?"
She said, "Why would there be?"
I was really excited to ask her, "So you have to think about how to return it to others?"
"No, because other people are kind to me, and I have the ability to repay them!" she said with a smile.
She said it so confidently and with such conviction. At the time, I was blown away when I heard her last sentence. I felt a rush of envy, and at the same time, I finally understood why I had always felt pressure about other people treating me well. I was inspired to embark on my own journey of self-reflection and change.
For me, it was an incredible journey of learning to affirm my self-worth and feel empowered!
And for you?
I really hope that my own little story can give you food for thought and inspiration! So perhaps your confusion is not about not knowing how to repay someone's kindness, but rather to make us think beyond the event itself and consider why it gave you such a painful experience.
I truly believe that this reflection will be a seed with tenacity that will sprout, grow, and become stronger during your journey. It will then become an even more solid strength within you!
I really hope my response can give you warmth and support, just like the warm-hearted people in your story! But most of all, I really hope my words can give you strength!

I truly appreciate everyone's support and kindness on Yi Xinli. Your words have brightened my days, and I feel fortunate to have received such heartfelt guidance. The warmth of your responses has given me strength, and I am working on ways to channel my gratitude more meaningfully than just a simple thank you. I hope that by growing and improving myself, I can honor the time and effort you've all put into helping me.
Your kindness has left me feeling both uplifted and somewhat conflicted. While I cherish every piece of advice and encouragement, I worry about not being able to give back in equal measure. Perhaps the best way for me to repay your generosity is to pass it forward, spreading the same positivity and support to others who are in need. I believe this cycle of kindness can be a beautiful way to express my thanks.
Thank you all so much for your understanding and support. It's comforting to know there are people out there willing to lend an ear or offer advice. Although I'm struggling with how to adequately show my appreciation, I will try to live up to the kindness shown to me by striving to become a better person. I want to make sure that the energy you've invested in me is not wasted but turned into something positive.
The support from everyone has been overwhelming in the best way possible. I wish I could find the perfect way to thank each one of you personally. Instead of worrying about repayment, I'll focus on integrating your suggestions into my life and becoming someone worthy of such benevolence. I promise to carry forward the lessons learned here and share them with others as a testament to your influence on my journey.
