Share the Love!

Being a nice person is a good quality to have. People like being around nice people because they are kind and think about the needs of others. However, some people are a bit too nice and that can actually negativity affect you if you’re one of them. Everything needs to be in balance, including how nice you are to others and to yourself.

People who are too nice can also get taken advantage of by not so nice people. It’s good to be careful and keep a balance because if you constantly give and others constantly take, you’ll end up running out of things to give and you won’t have anything left for yourself.

These 7 signs will let you know if you’re too nice. If these signs sound like you, don’t stop being nice, just make sure you are being equally as (or sometimes even more) nice to yourself.

Not sure if you’re too nice or not? Take this quiz, “Are You Too Nice? “to find out.

1. People say you’re a nice person but you feel like you’re mean
A big sign that you are actually too nice is when your friends or coworkers tell you you’re too nice but you don’t think it’s true. You think that they don’t know the real you or you try to justify a reason why you’re actually mean.

Chances are though that they have observed something that made them say that and if you hear it a lot from friends, family and others, then maybe you should take it to heart. You probably are a nice person, especially if multiple people say it.

 

2. You are always sharing even if people don’t ask
There’s always that one person who always brings more than enough food to share or is always cooking and sharing what they made. Everyone loves this person and looks forward to seeing them, but is it because they like the person or the food the person brings with them?

Sometimes people will spend time around you just to get something, especially if you have a lot to offer and are a nice person. Nice people who have a lot tend to share a lot. Nice people who share a lot sometimes also get taken advantage of.

It’s good to share with others, but just remember real friends who enjoy being around you aren’t just there for what you have to offer and share. They are there because they like you. And yes, it can feel really good when you share a lot with others because it makes them happy and they tell you how great you are. It’s a nice feeling, but be careful not to overdue it and give too much to people who don’t appreciate you.

 

3. You constantly think about the needs of others before your own
Unless these other people are your children, you really have no reason to put their needs above your own. If you don’t take care of yourself, who else will?

If you constantly think about other people and put their needs above your own, then your needs may not get met and it’s going to affect you, not them. Sure, it’s good to care for your family and friends and if someone is going through a tough time then sure, it’s good to help them out. But you can’t put their needs above yours. It is not your job to take care of everyone but it is your job to take care of yourself.

 

4. You feel guilty a lot
If you carry a heavy burden of guilt on your shoulders it might be because you’re too nice. People who aren’t as nice as you aren’t affected as much by guilt because they just don’t care really. You however, are a nice person who cares about others and you feel bad when you think there is something you could have done to make the situation better.

Remember, everyone is in control of their own life and they probably could have done something to make the situation better too.

 

5. Whenever someone ask for help, you always offer to help
If someone says they need help, you are usually quick to offer your services. People come to you and ask for advice often and for your help because they know you won’t turn them away. People aren’t going to ask a mean person for help or advice because they are mean and probably won’t do it or might not even listen.

It’s good to help people but be careful of doing it too often and forgetting to take care of your own issues. It’s usually a good idea to make sure you’ve got your stuff under control before trying to help anyone else.

 

6. When you need something it’s hard to find anyone to help you
Nice people need help too but many times when they ask for it no one is around to help them. Unless they are around a lot of other nice people, they might have trouble finding anyone to help them, even though they are always the first person to help others.

If you ask for help and everyone just blows you off, there is a chance you’re too nice. They might not even mean to do it, they might just figure that you’ll be fine. Or maybe they don’t realize how important it is since you were so nice when you asked? Or maybe they just aren’t nice people themselves.

 

7. You end up doing the things that no one else wants to do
There are jobs at work that no one wants to do but someone has to do it. Are you the person who ends up doing it most of the time? You’re probably a bit too nice.

Do people always ask for your help? They ask because they know you’ll say yes since you’re nice. If something has to get done you’ll do it because you’re nice. Be careful of being too nice or you’ll get to do all the fun stuff that no one else wants to do.
