I am one of those people. I guess the trick is to be diplomatic without disappointing someone or pissing the hell outta them (but sometimes people deserve the bluntness...so there can always be an exception). And sometimes saying a simple No is a lot better than just giving in to some people's requests and kicking yourself later. Prevents people from taking advantage of you Hell won't break lose if you don't always be there for someone...especially if they don't value it. Cut yourself some slack once in a while. It's kinda good for your own self esteem.

I feel a lot better personally when I'm being straight instead of beating around the bushes I don't like being too nice to people anymore. I used to be one of those nice people. I used to pay for people's lunch when they "forgot" or "ran out cash" every other day. Sometimes you just gotta be a bit bitchy with people for your own sake, I guess
But...I'm nice. I just wont allow people to get too used to it.
