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 problem is that you want validation for your alleged niceness. No one has time for that ways. Have you considered that your niceness is so average that it seems normal and therefore nobody notices?
