Kindness is weakness? (lemmings.world)

Even when we always treat others well, it hurts when they treat us badly in return. While it's true that we shouldn't expect good in return for our good deeds and should continue to treat others with kindness, it still feels unfair when others take advantage of our goodness and manipulate us in such situations.

Treat them well once, cut them out of your life if they can't behave like human beings. They don't deserve it.
