A nice person is someone who acts in a kind and pleasant manner. Oftentimes, a nice person will compliment others or show their appreciation of them in some way. Nice people will go out of their way to help someone else and will never do anything that might hurt them. This is why they are so popular with most of the population.

However, there are some negative sides to being a nice person. The most significant issue with being a nice person is that it can make you an easy target for toxic people. It is easy for a toxic person to manipulate a nice person because they let their guard down around them.

Being a nice person can also make you resentful of other people because they are putting their needs ahead of yours. For example, if you are being a nice person by holding the door for a man with a stroller, it could be interpreted as a creepy attempt to get closer to him. Additionally, if you are being nice by buying someone a gift because they just broke their arm, it may be taken as a bribe to get better treatment.

Lastly, if you are being a nice by giving money to strangers on the street, it may be seen as a form of charity that is not beneficial to society. Giving money to someone who does not need it can be a waste of your own resources and will cause you to feel unfulfilled in the end.

Another problem with being a nice person is that you tend to be sycophantic. This means that you will always be begging for recognition from other people. Nice people will give other people compliments just to get their attention and to make them feel good about themselves. Oftentimes, the people that a nice person compliments will not appreciate the compliment at all and it will cause the other person to be angry or even jealous.

Nice people also have a hard time saying no and are more likely to be walked all over by other people. Because of this, they are not as assertive as they should be. If you want to be a nice person, then it is important to learn how to say no and speak up for yourself.

To improve your relationships and to stop feeling like you have to be nice all the time, try to practice loving-kindness meditation and focus more on physical reality instead of thought-reality. It will naturally strengthen the empathetic part of your brain and make you more kind. You should also be honest in your relationships and end them when they are no longer healthy. This will prevent you from being a nice person who is constantly letting other people take advantage of you. Being a nice person can have a huge impact on your life and can be toxic if you are not careful. Be aware of the negative side effects of being a nice person and avoid them as much as possible.
