Two things about being nice to people
One: You will be taken advantage of. There is no way around it, nice people are always taken advantage of by people who are not nice. It sucks, but it is also the way the world is and that will not be changing anytime soon.
Two: People will dismiss things you say because they think you are just being nice. I think this one is more frustrating than number one. Try listing to what someone is saying for a change instead of just dismissing them and telling them that they are wrong when they say nice things about you. Maybe they see something about you that you will not let yourself see.
