Be wary of "cheap" gestures from those around you.
"Cheap" gestures include:
"Give me your address and I'll order takeout for you."
"Where are you going? I'll call you a ride."
Especially from strangers. Their daily displays of concern and care...
True emotional value only occurs with people you care about, your friends. Only specific people can provide you with specific dopamine levels, offering effective emotional value.
Every time I hear something like this, I feel a little amused and confused. College students might like this...
In my eyes, it's "worthless."
Even a small gift from someone you're interested in, or a good friend, a simple "I thought of you," can brighten your heart.
It's not the gift itself, but the person.
I call this difference "specific dopamine supply." Only specific people doing this generate emotional value.
If someone says these things right off the bat, I think that's the most dangerous thing. I'd stay away.
Because ordering takeout or a ride requires you to give them your home address, travel routes, and most private information.
Once people reveal their boundaries for a few dollars, the cost is often far greater than imagined. More
From a young age, I understood one thing: Trying to gain small advantages leads to big losses.
A sudden offer of benefits is always suspicious.
People who are truly worthy of your attention won't try to gain your trust with "benefits," won't rush to prove their worth, and won't overstep boundaries or infringe on your safety.
The more valuable a person is, the more they understand the importance of maintaining distance; the cheaper a person is, the more they like to get too close.
So, stay away from cheap kindness; only approach when you encounter genuine warmth.
Your life deserves to be illuminated by specific people, not disturbed by cheap people.

Hehehe, I also went to Senso-ji Temple and drew a fortune slip.
Great fortune! Looks like it's going to be a pleasant weekend.
