After torturing myself with similar thoughts for far too long, I came to a conclusion that best suites my mind: My kindness is a selfish act, something I do for me so I can sleep without regret, so I can experience joy in my own actions, so I can amplify my gratitude for kindnesses received. Another's gratitude is not my own and I can only feel a little sad for anyone who may not experience the goodness that the universe offers to them. I don't know if that may be something worth reflecting on for you, but it helped me.
