I'm lazy. Being mean is way too much work.

It isn't a favor, it's character.

I ask myself the same question all the time. I feel like I give everything and never receive anything. I agree with many of the comments already posted. 1) Karma. It does exist. 2) The portrait that you are painting of yourself. You do not have to lower yourself or end your kindness. You will not feel any better. You will actually feel worse. 3) Because that is who you are. We are givers. Hopefully, Karma will serve us well one of these days. *fingers crossed*

I try to control my own actions rather than others control them!

I often don't return the favor because I suspect they only do it because they expect something back not because they actually care about me.

I think that is what makes some people become a recluse to their surroundings.

I was raised to be kind and nice to all, and who act rude against me i just ignore. I don't ask for anyone to repay me anything when do help them or be nice towards them as that is who i am and just don't think that being rude will be a thing to handle all people around me. I love to be different and not like others, so others are rude and i am kind so that is good to be unique.

Cause it's not about what you get back. If you do nice things you have reason to like yourself. You get to know that you did the right thing even when there was nothing in it for you. So it's good for you, that's why. ;)

Don't allow the lack of refinement in others to keep you from your own personal progress. If your nature compels you to be kind-hearted with others, stay with it. You've got a great thing going. :)

You make it sound like you're only nice to get something back. Be nice because that's they kind of person you are.

Remember what MLK said. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can. Its hard but if everyone were to give an eye for an eye we couldnt see the error of our ways i suppose.

You do it because thats who u are and how you live your life the way you like and enjoy. I know it's nice to have people treat u at least the same way you treat them, but it's best that you just treat them the way you want anyone to treat you and never a wait for reply or thanking.

Nice to OTHERS, not to oneself. It is not a business, it is a gift.

Why change how you are? If you are a nice person rise above it don't let the nasty people drag you down to their levels as you are being some one you not so will be unhappy then you'll have to ask the question why am i so unhappy. JUST BE YOU
