Many times people take advantage of me because I am a nice guy. I still try to do the nice things I do.

Yes. I do sometimes, but usually only to people who aren't deserving.

It can be frustrating but I'd rather take the high road and treat people the way I want to be treated not the way they treat me. Though I know quite a few people who treat me just great!

IMO opinion if you are sincere in doing something just to be nice you should not be expecting anything in return other than the knowledge within yourself that you have done in kindness, but with that being said a good old fashioned thank you would be much appreciated.

Nice, I tell my wife I am nice one hour a day. She asked what hour that was, told her it changes from second to second.

Where did you get this qeustions from?

I think it happens to everyone at some point. If you're nice and they don't care so what...... they're the idiots.

Nope! It's easier on me and I can just smile and leave them to their own destruction!

I'm generally sweet to everyone, but I can spot someone attempting to milk me from a mile away.

However, I am curious when you mention that you don't get anything in return. Do you mind elaborating, please?
