: Re: How do you show an introverted, socially awkward character is kind? I have a character for whom three of their most prominent traits are meant to be their kindness/high degree of empathy, social

Perhaps the way to show kindness is to perform hidden acts of goodness. He gets up early to shovel the snow for someone who would have difficulties with shoveling, but shies away from any kind of recognition for the act. Or he comes over to fix the plumbing (etc.) with the minimum of conversation. Or he cleans ups the park after a storm before the others can get organized.

I am not sure that these acts are exactly kindness but these are good deeds and that may be enough to establish the goodness/kindness of the character. Perhaps a private smile of accomplishment after the act is complete. That is, he does these things out of pleasure rather than duty.
