Louie Stowell @louiestowell.bsky.social · 05/11/2023People ask "what's your toxic trait?" But how about the flipside? What's your TONIC trait? The wholesome thing you do that is the opposite of destructive for yourself or others? 287321
Sophia Grene @sophiagrene.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I stop and talk to strangers who seem really upset. I listen to them and offer whatever comfort I can. Most of the time this probably makes little or no difference, but I’m sure it has helped some people, and that’s enough for me. 2191
Rogue 🦊 @xombiekitty.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I offer up high fives to my fellow wheelchair users as we pass each other when shopping, etc. The smiles I get in return, along with the high fives, are priceless. I also tell fellow people with fun coloured hair how much I love it because I know how much it brightens my day when people say it to me 192
I Scream Ridge @eileen4ever.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I take pictures for people when I see nice moments out in the world that need an extra pair of hands (and eyes) to capture 191
Gfrancie (Benevolent Siren) @gfrancie.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I am good at listening to insomniacs, and people in crisis at odd hours. It is good to remind people that they are tender and need care. 050
Louie Stowell @louiestowell.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I've just realised mine: when people tell me about a plotline in a show that i know it would give me rage to see play out i...stop watching before it happens. 2170
Tina @ombresque.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I decided to be gentler when driving and it’s drastically improved my (and hopefully others’) road experience: leave lots of room from car in front of me, let people merge or cut me off, drive under the speed limit whenever I can do I can spot pedestrians quicker, etc. 040
Crispycrise @crispycrise.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I’ll cook you dinner if I’ve known you for two hours or more 031
Elyssa Tappero | Waves and Witchery @disasterqueer.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I've been told I can talk to people about really hard topics (in my case, usually disasters like tsunamis) in a way that is actually empowering instead of scary or discouraging. 020
Anna Horroridge @anna-orridge.bsky.social · 06/11/2023I think I'm patient. I give people the benefit of the doubt, both irl and online. 020
Electra Rhodes @electrarhodes.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I feel a bit self aggrandising to say this, but kindness to strangers in distress and a willingness not to be a bystander. 4251
Noh, Bodhi @nohbodhi.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I always tell them I don't have one, because people who ask that question rarely listen to the answer. 000
Kerrith 🇨🇦 Killustration Studios! 🎨 @killustration.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I realized that people can choose to be negative, and also choose to be kind. I’ve been actively choosing to be kind and spread positivity through art for myself and others! 041
Marc (with a Sea) Diamond @marcwithasea.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I try to stay calm & measured on the surface, even if I’m not, but because the other people need me to be. ☺️ 021
Lynn Nothegger @lynnnothegger.bsky.social · 05/11/2023When I see a woman who is wearing a great outfit, I tell her she looks amazing and that the dress/outfit/shoes really suits her. Complete strangers. Don’t do it often but when I do, I feel great and I think they do too. 4141
Polis Loizou 🐺🎃 @polisloizou.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I love encouraging people to pursue their creative goals and realise their projects. Call it kindly kick-up-the-arsery. (Oh, and I give good gifts.) 041
Silversprite @silversprite.bsky.social · 24/05/2024I write letters. A lot of letters, cards and postcards. Roughly 200-250 per year since 2015. Not just to close friends, but colleagues, more distant folk, friends of friends, the occasional total stranger. I don't expect replies, though most do. There is, still, a place for ink and stamp on paper. 171
gabliotecaria @gabliotecaria.northsky.social · 05/11/2023I'm very friendly and approachable and bubbly? 121
Linda Hill @lindasbookbag.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I always smile and say hello when passing someone in the street locally, as one elderly lady said she makes herself go out to speak to 10 people every day as it’s the only human interaction she gets. People don’t need to reply but I hope it makes them feel seen, albeit briefly. 1120
ScaryKate DoubleBOOOO @sarakatew.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I send friends snail mail. For no reason, and holiday cards, and I buy most of the cards at art markets. 2181
A Spookish Girl @abookishgirl.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I don’t know if this counts, but I won’t play music or watch videos on my phone in public without headphones - it really irritates me when other people do it, so I won’t inflict that on anyone else! Even if it’s easier than digging out my headphones. 160
Jo Cotterill/Kenrick @jocotterillbook.bsky.social · 06/11/2023I offer comfort to those who are afraid, no matter the size of the situation. 161
Bolt451 is the name of the scientist @bolt451.bsky.social · 05/11/2023I'm really cheerful and enthusiastic. Which is also wild given my anxiety and self doubt Also I have these guys. They count as a trait of mine..right ? 140
