My family calls me innocent, naive and too nice. Is that bad?

I was told I’m too nice and I need to be more assertive and stop being nice. My dad said I’m WAY to trusting, nice and always sees good in people and I end up getting hurt and taken advantage of and the truth is I don’t read people and I lack doing it.
I’ve been taking advantage of so many times even when I try to help people a lot and try to not mess up and make them happy but I always pissed them off and disappoint them.

I was the same when younger, and still am to some degree. what i changed with time is I try to separate those I want to help from those I want as friends or lovers because they would be good for ME. I am now very protective of myself,I'll help some stranger, sit with someone who needs to talk, even buy food for people but that doesnt mean i'll let them in my life. I takes a long time before I let someone into my personal life. but then again some will argue my girlfriend only takes advantage of me. 🤷‍♂️
