I worked at a YMCA as a young man, and I once bought a pair of shoes for a kid who was embarrassed of theirs.
It didn't go as well as I thought it would--her mom was embarrassed and then out-did me--but it still felt really good to give them.
So for anyone reading, it can feel as good to give a kindness as to receive one. Don't shy!
- bgbntty2 11mo ago> it can feel as good to give a kindness as to receive one True - I love giving gifts and helping people more than receiving them or getting help. But it's still awkward/uncomfortable to receive help. > her mom was embarrassed and then out-did me Out-did you how? Did she buy better shoes for the kid? Or did she give you a gift?
- sejje 10mo agoYeah, she took the kid and let her pick out her favorite pair. I had picked for her, and I'm not a girl. I think the new ones had lights. I will say the kid cried happy tears and thanked me and beamed all day long the first day. She was 8.
