There is nothing wrong with being nice to everyone. Helping friends, assisting family, and discovering ways to get along with people is a beautiful thing. But it is likely to be too nice and there are chances of negative side effects out of it. Being too nice can just be another way of saying someone is uneasy with the prospect of letting people down. When you are too nice with people, please ensure that your mental health is very important. Here we look at the signs that you might be too nice to people while jeopardizing your mental health.
* YOUR NEEDS ARE NEVER MET.
It’s ok to be helpful and nice to everyone, but these people are never there for you in rescue. So take it as a sign if it feels like your requirements are never met. This may lead to mental stress.
* YOU SAY SORRY REPEATEDLY.
It is not necessary to apologize 24/7 and doing it too often can even lead the word to lose its meaning.
* YOU FEEL RESENTFUL AFTER SAYING YES.
You will know you were a little too nice if you feel resentful after saying yes to someone. Resentment will start to build if you constantly agree to do things by saying Yes. Resentment may lead to mental stress and your mental health is jeopardized.
* YOU WORRY ABOUT BEING LIKED.
According to psychotherapists, this is the mental script many people-pleasers adopt as a way of alleviating their anxiety.
* OFTEN GET DRAGGED TO THINGS YOU DON’T WANT TO DO.
Nice people often find it difficult to chime in and say what they want to do and thus get swept away. Always allow yourself to throw ideas even if they are unpopular. You should not hesitate to speak your mind. Don’t shoot down your ideas.
Those were a few signs that you might be too nice to people while jeopardizing your mental health.
If you notice a pattern of friends saying whatever want to you, consider it yet another sign you may be “too nice”.
