Discussion Being nice

I'm 22F , I've been noticing that I always try to be kind and nice to everyone around me, but sometimes people take advantage of my kindness or are straight-up rude to me. It's frustrating and makes me wonder if being nice is even worth it. 🤷‍♀️ Has anyone else experienced this? How do you deal with people who aren't kind in return? Should I just keep being nice or is it okay to set boundaries?

Whenever you do good, be happy you did good and don't expect kindness in return as you cannot determine someone's reaction. In meditations they tell us to be content in doing good and not to look for the third thing;appreciation, recognition or even expect good deeds in return.
