Stop being a people pleaser. Others will treat you anyway they like....just as long as you give them permission to.

I used to be taken advantage of all the time, because I didn't know how to say no without feeling guilty. When I finally began to believe that What I needed was just as important as what someone else needed, and that I was not the only one who could meet others needs, then I finally learned how to say, "No". and feel good about it.

Bet you do a lot of favours for people too, which just leads to them asking for more favours. Develop the habit of asking a trade for everything eg "Yes I can help you with that, but in return I want _______________" It's more honest and fair if both parties get a rewards, and actually builds better relationships.

You do not have to let others run over you. You can kindly stand up to them and tell them you will not do things for them. You have the right to good friendships.

There's nothing wrong with being kind to people. You just need to stay strong and use the word "No" a lot. I often say, "Don't ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, or my kindness for weakness".
