You can be kind and still say, like’ I am not ok with this’ Jasmine Badge
If you don’t say YES authentically, you will say YES resentfully. And that creates far more problem than if you said NO in the first place.
We need stop associating being a good person with how much we’re willing to suffer in silence for others …
You can be a kind and still say no, like’ I don’t have the time/energy to help you with that’.
You can be a kind and still say, like’ I disagree and here’s why”
You can be kind and still say, like’ I am not ok with this’.
Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat.
