There are many kinds of friends in a friend group, some good and some bad. I, however, would categorize myself as the "pushover" in the friend group. That could be taken as a good thing and also a bad thing. So, here are some signs that will help you figure out if you're way too nice for your own good.
1. "No" isn't used in your vocabulary.
You say yes to everything whether you actually agree or not.
2. You are usually everyone's go-to when they want to do something.
The bad part about this is you'll usually go with whatever your friends want to do. Your bank account will be screaming, "No," but deep down, you just want to be social and not miss out on anything "important." That could mean late night Wawa (or Sheetz) runs or seeing a movie.
3. You have an irrational fear of speaking up in fear of upsetting people.
You know you should speak up, but you just can't.
4. You give in so easily to peer pressure.
You told yourself in high school, "No, I'll never give in to peer pressure, I don't care what it is." You lied to yourself because you will give in to peer-pressure, especially if it involves food. Free food? You'd be silly not to accept it. You might gain the freshman fifteen in the first week, but hey, at least you're happy, right?
5. You'll usually do anything and everything people ask you to do.
You like to make everyone happy, even if you have to go through a lot to make that happen. If anyone asks you for a favor, your responses are either, "Sure," or "Yeah, no problem."
6. But the sad part is, you can't recognize when you're being taken advantage of.
Sure, you might be super nice, but people tend to take advantage of those kinds of people the most. You can literally move a boulder for someone and they wouldn't even move a pebble for you. Helping others comes naturally to you, but some people will try to take advantage of that.
7. You're always saying, "I'm Sorry," for things that you have no control over.
This is a big thing. Never ever apologize for how you're feelings; you can't help it and that's okay.
8. You probably didn't notice yet, but you bottle up all of your anger and let it all out at once.
When someone asks you what's wrong, you'll go on a long vent about the problems you had throughout your life. Might as well sit that person down for a few hours and tell them your life story. Maybe they'll turn it into the next hit movie.
9. You get told that you need to stand up for yourself.
People will tell you this constantly like you're not already aware of it. You know you have to stand up for yourself eventually so people will stop walking all over you. Standing up for yourself in a way makes you feel selfish. You know you shouldn't feel that way but you do because once you stand up for yourself, it displeases someone else.
10. People can't see you being mean.
When I say mean, I don't necessarily mean being extremely rude but if you make a snarky remark you can usually get away with it. If you're super sarcastic, people will find it funny because you're such a nice person.
