THE CHAIN OF NUTSO KINDNESS
The world is filled with selfish and greedy people who care less about any other person. Their satisfaction is all what matters and they will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means hurting other people to have this achieved.
Though he world is cruel and accursed, there are still kind people who will stop at nothing to put a smile on other people's face. These type of people are very very rare in the surface of the earth. Sometimes, it seems like the bad live longer than the good.

Most of the times, the bad that was done to me is the greatest motivation and stimulation I have to do good to others. However, there are times when the goodness of others towards me, stimulates my kind side to do something kind to other people. One of this many events is when I went for mental health experience in Amaudo Itumbauzo Abia state, Nigeria. In this place, we took care of he mentally ill patient (mad people).
After the morning prayers in the chapel with some mentally ill patient that were still recovering but have their sanity slightly intact, we went outside to have fun, play with the patients and make them happy.
Being a person who is rigid and reserved to a very good extent, I hate doing those things because it made me feel awkward and very weird.
Seeing my course mates and other people play with the patients, I got triggered to give it a try but I had to stop myself because i did mot know how. After the games, they started dancing and clapping which made me really hyped up but my shyness did not allow me join in the fun. During the dance, some of the patients came to drag me to dance but I just tried not to join the dance.
They finished dancing, and a woman that sales fries came in. The mentally ill became hyped by the presence of food and started asking us to buy some for them.
I immediately spoke to myself: "Now this is what I can do." I remained quite enjoying what was happening in my environment but not join the fun.
My course mates started buying fries for the patients but I just remained where i was, focused in my phone.
The same patients that brought me out for a dance, still came to me so I will buy them some fries. Seeing how much fun the were having with my coursemates, I decided to follow the patients to the spot where the fries are being sold.
I got them what they wanted, little did I know that I looked for trouble. Majority of the patients started coming to my side so I will buy some for them also.
Damn, the crowd I was running away from finally caught up to me. I quietly said to my self.
I ran away from the crowd by giving the seller the money so she could distribute the fries to the patients. After that, I ran back to my room to hide.
During that time, I felt awkward because there were too many crowd around me who I do not know. Normal, I am the course representative and I control crowds, but I actually do not like crowds when I am not prepared for it.
I felt happy because I was able to provide something for my patient, I felt good by watching them have fun but at the same time, I felt like i should try to change a little so that i will not keep depriving myself of fun times.
I love seeing people have fun but I hate having fun because to me, a man is not supposed to have fun unless he has finished everything there is to do.

Thank you for reading 😊
Please try to loosen up a little, life is actually fun sometimes. It's okay to be a disciplined person, but you should not deprive yourself of fun too. It's a way to unwind and ease stress.
sometimes, it gets hard yaknow. i really want to join in a fun activity but cant. i hope i find a way to socialize someday
I hope so too🥺 and btw, I am not a social butterfly as well, but I know how to have fun when I am around people I am very comfortable with.
true... when i am around people i am very very comfortable with, i can have some fun but to a minimal to avoid see finish and to keep my respect intact. haha.
Lol, I understand.
hahahhahahaha
Your post remind of how shy and socially awkward I was back then in secondary school. I was the senior prefect boy, so sometimes I had to fake not being shy
I can actually relate to this.. haha. I was also a senior perfect. It was God that saved me from the shyness. Haha
Hey man! Life is sweeter when we are less reserved and go out of ourselves and be more social
I am glad you recognise that as a problem in yiu and uou wish to change, we keep improving man
Meanwhile I love the kind gestures towards your patients, bravo

You actually did something kind to your patients and yes, it is good to have fun. I agree with you that a man should only have fun when he has finished with everything that needs to be done, but I tell you that, having fun even in the middle of some tasks isn't bad because at that moment, you are giving yourself time to energise and be more prepared for the next tasks.

You're right ya'know.
Having fun is actually a bad thing to do. Also, it frees one from many stressors

You are welcome.

I understand the fact that you are a reserved person, but in your reserved moment, try to find relaxation with others, it's imperative to do so. I also want to commend your act of kindness towards your patients. Putting smile on others faces at the detriment of your own comfort, is a deep sign of true maturity, and that's what love means.

I admire your act of kindness toward your patients, such a little act can go a long way in putting a smile on their faces. And oh, it is okay to have fun at a time like that.
I get it, that you are a shy type, but it is okay to loosen up a little bit.
Cheers to you from a #dreemerforlife
I'm on a journey of learning how to socialize moe and I hope it pays off.
