Is there ever such a thing as "too nice"?

I have been told that I am "too nice", usually when I do something to make people happy. I've been told "people will tale advantage of you", "don't be a doormat", and other variations on the theme.

Here are the dictionary definitions:
nice: pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory
kind: having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature
✩.･*:｡≻───── ⋆♡⋆ ─────.•*:｡✩
Going by these definitions, I believe that most people, when they say "too nice", really mean "too generous" or "too kind". But I believe we need more kindness in the world, especially today with this global pandemic and so much social and political dissension and unrest. I choose to make people happy by being friendly to all, as generous as it is within my power to be, and considerate of others in everything I do.
I choose to make the world a happier place. What do you choose?
For those who this song... "Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race"... :musical_score: :notes:

I get told similar things and to be honest. I've had times where I've put out and haven't gotten anything back. But it feels good to be the light in someones life, even if you don't get anything in return. As long as you know your worth and stay away from those who will take advantage of you, theres nothing wrong with being too kind and nice. In a world of negativity and hate being a positive light will never go unreconized. The more love and positive energy you give, the more it will come back to you with a smile :]
Exactly my thoughts!
Yes there is being to nice, I was that way, still am sometimes. When you over extend yourself with your kindness, and it starts to affect your different areas of life, thats when it is too much. Like for example, I used to have people calling my phone 24 7 for advice, counseling etc., wasnt getting paid, doing it because I truly cared. It got to a point I was ignoring my obligations, neglecting my husband, my self, so I had to start telling people I can't be there therapist all the time. Its all about balance.
Good point!
