Because we make it easy for people to do this to us. We have big hearts willing to give so much to people and they take it to the fullest extent but we nice people let them do it.

Ok - I'm reading and telling myself this advice too because I have been in the same boat as you too

"People treat me the way that I let them"

I'm learning to take the time to truly discover who I am and what is important to me and to stop listening to others who say how I should be. As kids we are taught to get along and conform... don't make waves, be the peace keeper, keep our mouth shut, stop crying, ......

Discovering and accepting yourself (at this moment) I think is the key to beginning the journey. You are just as important as the other person.... so don't let them take advantage of you.... if you don't speak up for yourself and take care of yourself... no one else will. Loving yourself may be the greatest gift that you can possess.

Being nice can make you a target. Like when you answer your phone which is unlisted and an on a no call list. It can upset you that your right to privacy has been denied because your phone number can be obtained by a creditor or by anyone with the know how. If you are treated this way long enough to survive you have to have a hardened shell. It becomes you against them so to speak. Another person who has been hurt may seem at first not to be a nice person because of this shell. It is a learning process to stay nice and not get burned.

Kindness is often mistaken for a weakness,however it is the farthest from.

One can only do unto another what one allows one to do.

Happened to me too. Some people are opportunists and if they see game they will prey on it.

Why do nice people get taken advantage of? Because that's who we are, and that is what also makes us unique in many ways.
