Article Summary
The article at the link below indicates that while unsolicited acts of kindness enhance the well-being of both givers and receivers, many individuals hesitate to perform them due to fears of misinterpretation.

However, this concern is largely unfounded, as less than one percent of recipients reported feeling embarrassed by acts of kindness; most felt “happy,” “grateful,” or “loved.” Additionally, studies show that people tend to underestimate the positive impact of their kindness on others. To foster more frequent acts of kindness, it’s suggested that individuals should not overthink and proceed with their generous actions.
