The real flex is keeping your heart soft and your boundaries strong.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Stop. Being. So. Nice. Learn to respond to indifference or disrespect with distance. Avoid the company of rude, jealous, or patronizing people. Refrain from investing your time into people who could go months without seeing you or talking to you if you didn’t reach out to them first. Stop shaping your personality and likes around others opinions. Quit being happy to be the butt of everyone’s jokes. Stop being the hero who always inconveniences themselves to save the irresponsible and ungrateful. STOP kissing people’s asses and sucking their toes just for them to turn around and slap you in the face! If you haven’t noticed, being nice doesn’t make people like you, it makes them like what you can do for them. Stop being so nice from now on, and you’ll find out a lot about your relationships.
