The other side of Kindness.

We are always told to be quite rightly kind to people. However, there are times when certain people try to fix other people because they feel they know better or have identified you as 'needing fixing'. I have found myself at the receiving end of a lady's 'kindness' which is starting to choke me. I had been told by others that she was bossy but found her to be well organised so thought I would take up her kind offers of 'afternoon tea'. Being an arty introvert I love my own company pottering but this lady has now decided that I need fixing and is constantly harassing me to go out, telling me what to do, say, how to act, what to do in my house etc. I am slowly making up excuses not to meet with her anymore which are usually vague like 'Sorry I can't make it that day' etc. Just waiting for her to fall off the friendship list so to speak. So, that long and short of it is that sometimes people think they are being kind whereas in reality they are actually a pain in the proverbial by their constant desire to 'fix' people.
