I do believe that all types of people have their own personalities. However, even if they appear tough, they possess a soft spot that reveals their gentle nature. I, myself, can ignite my softie side when dealing with kiddies and, of course, immediate family. In fact, I do not show my weakness when being with them. The reason is that I do not want to influence them.
For what reason are you a softie?

@LadyDuck I agree. I got this persona from my mother. She never showed her weakness just to boost our self-esteem and not be affected as much as possible. @crossbones27

@crossbones27 People do not know how you feel. If you notice that you are depressed they run away.

Animals and people who are struggling. I do not care how you are struggling: mentally, physically, financially..I’m going to try to help a person if I possibly can. Same with animals. What can I do to help it? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be a softie. It causes me so much heartache to care like I do. But I do care, and I’m very open about showing it.

Nothing, In America, its a bad word now, never used to be as long as you did what was expected of you. Now its a bad word to say you a big softie. I still hear people scream all the time at their workers, you to soft. You need to be Hard. I go hey brother or sister, do not be discouraged.
That dude would be one of the first ones to be kicked out of the Marines.

I cannot stand seeing a young child or animal get hurt.

@nawala123 Since I am not a father, I still consider myself one for my nephews and nieces.
