Can someone explain through evolution why tf does kindness, altruism, love and forgiveness get abused and punished so hard by everyone nowadays? "Best" periods of my life were when I emotionally bullied those around me and everyone respected me, people wanted me. Now that I have changed because I have developed my empathy everyone starts taking me for granted, treating me like shit, not appreciating me and in the end blaming me for all their problems. Am I just meeting immature people? I don't want to go back to my old ways. I like being kind, friendly, helpful, loving. But holy shit I am at the verge of unleashing full rage upon someone if they treat me like am a dog once again.
