Nice is not always Nice


Being a nice person is a good thing, you’re always there for everyone, you care about people’s feelings, you don’t like being rude with anyone, even if you’re honest-like me- but still nice, you manage to say what you want to say in a way that is somehow rather acceptable

But the problem is, being nice means you always have to forgive people, over and over again. Even if they repeat the same mistake, because when you don’t, they start blaming you and make feel guilty in the process.

It also means people taking advantage of that, because you’re nice; you’ll always do stuff for them, forgive them (I know that I’m repeating my self- oh well) and Always putting everything and everyone ahead of you.
 
it means that whatever happens, you should be the ‘good’ one, that concludes you always being the strong one, that you will always have to SUCK IT UP and move on pretending that nothing bothers you-even if it does.
You reach a point where you’ve had Enough, where the slightest thing upsets you, where you become over sensitive over the tiniest thing.

That’s when people start blaming you.

But you will NOT always shut up, you have to speak out for yourself, can’t talk well? Write it down for them to read, send it to them, point out that no one can always walk all over you, that you will NEVER allow that to happen again.
Start to prioritize what’s important and what’s not, who you still consider as a best friend and who’s not, what you care about and what not, ‘cause you have to let go of the latter

and if you have trouble figuring that out, give each of them a chance or two, try things out and see how it will turn out to be, if they fail you, let them go, if not, hold on tight to them.


Being nice is a good thing, but not always nice.
Remember to put yourself first. Don’t push it hard on yourself to please anyone
