Are you proud? Do you hate it if someone else sees your weaknesses and acts kindly towards you because of those weaknesses? How would you react to someone who starts being kind to you because they feel sorry for you?

I have sufficient pride to want to be able to do things for myself when possible, but I would never be too proud to turn down another's help when it's offered. When you do that, you deny them the opportunity to build up "positive karma!" : D

I would never ever ever ever want someone to be kind to me because they felt sorry for me. Meaning in a way, if I wasn't feeling bad or anything, and someone decided they would feel bad for me without my mention of what I may be going through.

I do not want to be treated kindly out of pity. It would be a nice intent but I prefer to earn kindness or other positivity towards me through my actions and qualities.

I am not proudful. I know I have weaknesses and I willingly own up to them. If some people want to treat me kindly, for whatever reason, I don't see it as a bad thing. If someone feels sorry for me and pities me, to me that's a good thing because it means they were moved and care. I don't have false pride or want to pretend things are different than they are. I am honest with others and if they respond with kindness, I will never deny them the right and privilege to be that way. There is not enough kindness in this world. Maybe if people weren't so quick to write off others intentions and question their motivations, we would have more peace and forgiveness.

i believe kindness should never be rebuffed. i appreciate compassion very much ~ i believe it is the greatest gift one can bestow on another human being. i find it moving that someone would feel such great empathy towards another that they would want to help them or do something to make that person feel better. in my life i have gratefully accepted any kindnesses shown towards me. if i were down and out, even more so ~ and i was happy to return the kindness and show my appreciation when i was able to do so. as for weaknesses, i bare them for all to see as well as my strengths. love me or hate me ~ i am who i am and im not ashamed of myself in any way. if i am in need, i ask for help. luckily i have been very blessed as of late and i have not needed to ask for much assistance from others.

I think that's called Patronization and i would reject that as being such.
