It's right that people will take advantage of you if you're far too kind. Not everyone, naturally, but care is advised when you're giving a hand to someone. Honestly, Irene, I can't imagine you not being kind :)

Thank you for saying that, Denis! I think about if I'm a good, kind person or not quite often actually - I try to be as best I can.

How do you set boundaries for yourself, Denis?

I'm OK helping others but I want to see them help themselves too. If they don't make an effort (beyond complaining), I stay away.
