    We should, if its justified. I don’t know about y’all, but if someone would continuously sprinkle me with kind words and compliments without me deserving them, it’d just feel fake. And that would honestly frustrate me more in the long term.

      Right, but that isn’t what is being said here. Giving kindness is not all-or-nothing. We can definitely afford to do it more often without going overboard as you describe.

      A person is a very bad judge of what themselves deserve.
