At first, the phrase "being too good" sounds cruel to me because being too good to others is so very special. People who are good to others sometimes can't control how good they are. It's very disappointing but half the world gives and half the world takes. If you only give all of the time and haven't learned to expect something in return by accepting goodness from others, you will be taken advantage of by most people. It is a rare person who sees the special light that shines in you and doesn't take the mile when you give so much already.
Being too good, or not looking out for yourself can lead to manipulation as well as mental or physical abuse by others. Look out for yourself in your relationships and don't allow these negative things to happen to you. We all need to show love but all of us also need to receive love in return.

I think that many just lose track of life being too helpful to others. There is an involumtarily control by the needs of others, it becomes more than a vocation, more of a prison sentence.

Yes, I can understand how it could feel like a prison sentence after a while. Thanks a lot for your comment.
