I'm like you OP, except that when people come to the door, I usually let them say whatever they are going to say or take their pamphlets. I am a very shy person, who is definitely too nice sometimes.
When mormons or jehova witness knock on my door, I start yelling how great Satan is, and how I can't wait to sacrifice something to my dark father. I've had several promptly turn around and not come on my block anymore.
I guess i am typically nicer than most. I do know what to keep from ppl, and how much to hint and lead on to. Ill give some help to someone in need, as long as they dont come out as epic trolls. Otherwise they quickly find that i also have a stockpile of whoop ass ready.
Also i found out jehova witnesses are afraid of dogs like german shepards, i havnet seen one at my house for like seven years now.
I'm respectful of other people, and certainly polite to them, but I can and will say no, and there are a few things I'm rather blunt about. My hatred of alcohol and my refusal to smoke pot, for two of them. I'm not going to be nice about it if people ask me to drink or smoke, I don't mind them doing it, I just mind my doing it.
This is not the characteristic representation of "too nice".
People who are "too nice" are walked upon, they are not just people who try to be charitable and polite.
"TOO NICE" is a fault because it shows that their is a limit and the bypassing of that limit.
The person who gives thousands and thousands to their friend who keeps betraying them is TOO NICE and also NAIVE, which is a characteristic of "too nice".
People who are truly "too nice" will at some point be betrayed or hurt badly enough that they may either become "regular nice" or "hardened".

I was literally that definition and the "nicest person" you would likely ever meet, not because I was kind to people or because I was generous, though I was both to the highest degree, but because I continued it all and believed people could or WOULD change and adapt or do something nice for me.
Differing definitions of what is nice in that scenario. I wouldn't lie because that always makes me feel conflicted, in fact I've more or less given up untruth altogether. I would feel bad about letting them waste their time talking when I know I have no interest to start with.
No, if anything I should probably make more of an effort to be nice to people. I'm not mean, I'm just indifferent, I go about my business quietly and do my best not to pay any mind to people who act like a **** to me without reason.
But every time so preachy Christians arrive at my door. I open it. And say "i'm a gay Jewish Muslim woman about to play Diablo II while reading the origin of species, please stop littering my doorway with your unholy presence, and tell god to give me my 15 seconds back for my priest induced sexual fantasies!"
I'm way too nice. When I was in school, kids always thought I was retarded because I just ignored them and didn't say anything when they tried to make me angry. Well, maybe nice isn't the right word. More of, I'm extremely tolerant.
