I Am Always Told That I Am Too Nice

I’ve been told that I’m too nice all the time and it isn’t good. My dad said to us, “Dont be nice all the time. That’s how you get taken advantage of. You gotta show you mean side sometimes.”
He says that mostly to me a lot because I’ve been taken advantage of so many times, I am too forgiving, too easy going and always trust so easily sometimes and it has to stop.
My older brother and sister (both adults) even told me I need to bring more assertive, open my mouth and speak up because my problem is that I don’t and I’m too nice to stand up for myself and call people out. I am so not too nice. Even my friends sometimes are annoyed by me being “too nice.”
I feel for you, I was like that and mom said I was gullible and would give a person the shirt off my back if they asked for it, that is mostly true, then when I was getting into my twenties I started being more aggressive with the way I spoke with people, mostly it was people I worked with, they were always taking off and asking me to work for them. Then when I needed off nobody had my back. So I had to put a stop to it and when the schule changed I asked why I wasn't off on a day I was before and the manager said that that person said I would work for them. I didn't say a word but when I got to the day I was supposed to be off I was. And didn't go in on that other day to work for that employee and even after they called me I said I didn't say I would work for them, you need to be taken it up with them. I said you didn't even ask was that so. But that was the start and it snow balled from there, I think you will get better with it as you get older, just keep in mind you can be assertive and be nice to, unless the person doesn't get the idea then you got to me a little mean.

You have to define who you are.
No one else can live your life.
Decide what your values and then defend yourself with well defined personal boundaries
No one is entitled to run you but yourself.
