There are dangers in being too nice and saying yes to everything.
Here are six of them:
1. You’ll be taken for granted.
• People will begin to take you for granted if you are always nice and accommodating.
• They’ll come to expect you to always be there for them, and they won’t appreciate you as much as they should.
2. You’ll miss out on opportunities.
• Saying YES to everything and being overly nice can frequently lead to you missing out on opportunities that could have been excellent for you.
• You must learn to say NO from time to time in order to focus on the things that are truly important to you.
3. You’ll be used and abused in the end.
• Being overly nice frequently leads to people taking advantage of you.
• They may begin to expect favors beyond what a normal friend would expect, or they may begin to expect you to always be available to them.
4.You’ll never be respected.
• People will begin to perceive you as a pushover if you are always the nice guy.
• They will not respect your opinion and will begin to walk all over you.
5.You’ll always be the one who gives.
• If you’re always the nice one, you’ll always be the one who gives and never the one who receives.
• This can cause resentment and make you feel as if you’re being taken advantage of.
6. You’ll get burned in the end.
• People will begin to take advantage of your good nature if you are always the nice one.
• They may begin to ask for favors that are beyond your comfort level, or they may begin to make demands on your time that you cannot possibly meet.
