i think there's a difference in being nice and being so afraid of abandonment that you lose yourself trying to make them see how good you are.
you'll need to set boundaries and "expect" MUTUAL respect. you're not someone's doormat. it's ok to say, no, i'm sorry, i can't. you don't need to explain why and don't be pulled into explaining why. you just can't.
any relationship should be a two-way street. there should be a give and take to it, not just take, take, take and give, give, give. as long as you keep giving to a person who does not give in return, that person will have little respect for you and will, almost sadistically, keep taking. KWIM?
