Remember that it's good to have people on your side who love and care for you and it's okay to be nice to them.

  Being too nice isn't a bad thing, you think about others before yourself and that's a good thing but, you can definitely be too nice sometimes. You need to make sure that you are taking care of yourself before you can fully take care of others. If you aren't taking care of yourself then you can't really take care of anyone else around you. Sometimes it is important to help out those who need it, but other times it just becomes too much and people will keep taking from you until you say no more. Don't allow yourself to get taken advantage of. Make sure you take time for yourself and also say no when you need to. It's okay to help people out and be nice, but it's also okay to say no. Keep being the nice person that you are but just remember to be nice to yourself as well!
