Just to clarify, you aren't saying that doing these things make you a doormat or a "nice" guy.
My personal definitions of a nice guy and doormat
Nice guy - somebody that goes the extra mile to please others, he's the one you call when you need help with something because you will know he will drop everything he's doing to help you. Nice guys need approval from others and from society. They often put others needs ahead of their own thinking that this will make them happy. Deep down, most nice guys are not real happy because they become a shade of their true self.... They are so concerned with trying to become what the world wants them to be that they become miserable, depressed, passive aggressive, and they don't even understand why.
Doormat - someone with no boundaries in their life. They don't stand up for themselves.... They allow others to treat them poorly just so they don't rock the boat. They are afraid of conflict and seem to think that just by avoiding it, the problems will go away.... Hard to respect someone that doesn't respect themselves, their own values and beliefs.
