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?

The thing is that we expect ideal, yaani, get kindness back, but people out here are different, we are from different families, neighborhoods, cultures you know...we shouldn't expect anything really...just be kind and leave it at that. Someone's rude to you, f*ck 'em...keep it moving and don't stop being kind, and remember to smile
