Naughty or Nice?

Recently a few interactions with individuals has made me question whether you can be too nice. I always just assumed that being nice was a given. I am one of those people that thinks that being compassionate does create inner happiness. I find that for the most part "killing them with kindness" serves me well through my daily life. However, those interactions have left me feeling a bit jaded with the world. I am questioning whether I should be less open and generous with who I am. I am left feeling like I am being taken advantage of. It is a strange feeling for me to question whether you can too nice when it is something that I find is intrinsic to being human.
