Are you kind just because Gaga says so?

[Magui 2,628]

I think I'm kind but I think I could do more at times. I mean don't like to be harsh with people, I try to be polite and when I have to say something not so good to a person I try do it kindly. It brings me comfort and happiness to bring people up and make them smile or do a nice to thing to someone. But the older I get, the more selfish I get with my time. Cause I think I used to do lot more with my time regarding others. Either way definitely not because of Gaga, I think it's my nature and guess the way my parents raise me. Gaga just made me understand the power of kindness more. You see I always loved to bring smile on a person face, be nice, but I never thought about the power that, that can actually have. Regarding the internet, I don't really understand why unleash in some people wanting to be catty, overtly cynical or worse mean. To me it does the opposite, I don't know who's behind the screen so I'm even more thoughtful with my words.

I always try to be. Being bullied when I was young, however, brought about a lot of anger and bitterness that sometimes I do feel and I'm a human being. 

People have told me many times that I'm harsh sometimes, and that's true. But I hold people around me to a high standard. If they do stupid ****, I'm going to call it out so they don't do it again. At the same time, I am extremely hard on myself.

I'm a cold hearted c*nt most of the time but I did chose nursing/paramedics as a profession because I have that caring compassionate side to me. I have beautiful bedside manner and truly care so much about patients.

No. I'm kind because I'm a decent person with empathy.

That's so weird I was going to write a post like this myself. 

I've noticed an increase in kindness on this site but it feels a bit weird when someone who wasn't very nice last week is suddenly preaching kindness this week. I mean, I'm happy that they are changing and I want to see more kindness on here but it makes me wonder if they are genuine and going to switch sides again next week.

I love that Gaga is preaching about kindness though because this site and others got too sassy sometimes where it was bordering on being abusive. 

I perceive myself to be a kind person all the time anyway long before Gaga but I can be hot headed and feisty sometimes and it can come across as blunt but at heart I'm kind and it's not an act. Too kind for my own good sometimes tbh because I'm an empath.

I think the fact Gaga promotes kindness and compassion is a reason I was drawn to her but I don't think she's personally affected my moral compass.

Gaga constantly spreading kindness online does help remind me to be a bit nicer to people.

I'm indifferent but kind to strangers and most people who I barely know, but if someone is rude to me, I'm rude back.

[Itsbrenda 2,983]

When has Gaga ever said people should be kind?

[NewUsername 11,405]

I'd like to think of myself as someone that's kind. 
I think it's my nature and also how my parents have raised me.

I definitely am more aware as well of how I treat people thanks to Gaga's message of kindness.

I’m not going to be kind just because a famous person tells me to be. Of course I can be kind, but I also can be direct, honest, sometimes judgemental, and that’s perfectly fine. I think being kind to yourself is the most important thing, and then others around you.

[RAMROD 109,550]

Actually, nah.  I am no that type, fam. I prefer to drink my coffee and tea, black. No sugar at all. You know what I mean?

I don't see myself as that person, like, I know I am good person, but I am not 24/7 kind. That is not realistic.

I am kind when there is a reason to. But when it is time to be real, I will. I don't care if I will be seen as brute, rude, offensive, unkind, and all that for doing so.

People are made of all kinds of emotions, you can't expect actual human beings to be kind all the time. And this thing is exactly my gripe with Gaga's T.H.I.N.K campaign during ARTPOP era which doesn't fly, and it is obvious as to why.

i had to go through a lot of bullying back in school and i think that made me really humble. i dont wanna make anyone feel lonely and not liked because i know how that feels like

[Ashley 9,482]

If I’m honest I’m not as kind as I could be in my day to day life, and I naturally have somewhat of a ‘bitchy’ or ‘mean’ streak. But I am very protective over the people I love, which is why I don’t like seeing anyone be rude or hateful towards Gaga, and also because she is literally the sweetest person ever and doesn’t deserve that.

However, Gaga does inspire me to be more kind and see the good in people.

[COOOK 76,406]

What I see is many loud members saying that they’re kind only because Gaga preaches kindness, to justify the toxicity they spread in this forum, sadly making a beloved sis like @Economy leave.

I truly and genuinely believe in being kind. 

Lots of her fanbase were bullied growing up, so they should understand the importance of being kind. I do.
