I tend to have a pretty open, kind, and respectful approach to others.

It’s frequently interpreted as weakness and naivety.

I’m actually a pretty hardboiled and cynical person on the inside, but choose not to approach life in that manner. There’s reasons. Long story for other venues.

It’s always interesting to see the reactions from folks that think I’m an easy mark, when it dawns on them, that I’m not.

Kindness and generosity are not [necessarily] weakness.

I'll bite. Go ahead and list some recent examples of this actually happening please.

Many of us live this way.

Why would I tell you my secrets?

Maybe kindness is the real punk rock.
