Do I Know How to Be Kind?

Commit an Act of Kindness (or two or three ♥).
I’ve somehow really struggled with this one like with none other. I’ve seen someone include kindness as a goal and praised that, and then, when praising myself, claimed that I’ve turned out to be (among other things) kind enough. Now I wonder if in so-called real life I have sometimes actually been too kind or not truly kind at all, helping some people too much, instead of encouraging them to learn to help themselves. And if I ever comment on fic or anything else even partly due to kindness and not because of true interest in and admiration of the text or other contents, I wouldn’t mention it. Oh well, perhaps giving a chance to something that hasn’t yet been pointed out to me as admired by others may have been an act of kindness, unless I have selfish hopes that the act will be reciprocated. At least, thanks to the challenge, I’ve been more aware of other people’s kindness, for instance in their comments on my previous two posts.
