Being nice is a good quality to have as people love being around nice people. I understand being nice is not bad but at times, we forget that not everyone you are nice to will do the same for you in return. Being nice to yourself is important as well, be nice to others but never forget to do the same for yourself. Yes there is the saying treat people the way you want to be treated. However, sometimes you become overly nice and these are the 5 signs. These signs show that you are being nice to the point where people are taking advantage of you.
You put others' happiness before your own.
Logically you do not have to ever put anyone else’s needs before yours unless they are your young children. Because if you do not take care of your own happiness no one else will either. Therefore the need to make others happy should not be your priority but instead making yourself happy should be. It is completely okay to help others achieve their happiness but at the same time please avoid doing that at the cost of your own happiness.
You do not like letting people down
You tend to feel guilty easily, that's why, even if in the slightest, you feel that you did not help someone to the best of your ability, that you let them down, yet it isn't your fault. You hate not reaching the goal you had in mind for the job you were helping with. However you always do great and no one ever has any complaints against you only praises. But you still tend to get disappointed when you get to the end results very differently to how you had planned.
Always ready to help
You are always there when anyone asks for help no matter who they are. People tend to come to you to ask for help or any advice because they know you will never turn them down. For example you have assignments that you need to finish and submit today but because your best friend asked for help, you go and help them. Yes it is okay to help them but you need to prioritize, because you will exhaust yourself otherwise and constantly feel tired.
People say you are a nice person but you feel otherwise
Every person you meet says you're nice yet you feel you are a big meanie. This is a very big sign that you're too nice but yet you will try and look for a justification as to why you are not as nice as everyone says.
It's hard to find someone to help you.
As a person who is so nice and tends to help everyone, sometimes you need help and it is a little difficult to find someone to help you. If you have amazing friends then the case may be different but for many nice people it's hard to find people who can help them in their time of need. If you are prioritizing your friends then ensure they will do the same for you too if need be.
Being nice is not a crime however do not be so nice that you forget yourself. Think about your happiness as well, yes take care of others happiness but ensure yours comes first is all. BECAUSE it is only you who will care about your happiness the most, no one else will do that for you apart from your parents and few rare individuals who are just as nice as you.
