People say, “if you can’t find a nice person, be one,” but in these times it is kind of a challenge. Whether you try really hard to be nice to people who always challenge your patience, or you are just naturally too nice to people who might not deserve it, it is only a matter of time you go through one of these struggles.
1. People constantly raining on your parade
Some people don’t seem to understand that having a positive outlook can really change your life. And even though being nice and positive don’t always go hand in hand, when it does it creates a kind of struggle against rude and negative people.
2. If you are always nice to people, they think you like them
Just because I’m nice, considerate toward you or give you positive advice does not mean I am attracted to you. I am nice to EVERYONE; that’s my thing!
3. You just can’t say no
Sometimes you feel the need to say no, but because you feel it might be rude you don’t. You just want to be helpful and good to people, therefore “no” is not an answer.
4. People trying to take advantage of you
Just because you are nice does not mean you are a pushover. People need to understand the concept of boundaries.
5. You are unable to say what you mean
Again, in the fear of being rude, you try to say things as nicely as possible, even if the person is horrible.
