It is ever so unfortunate but as many have stated before me this type of personality does tend to attract those that will find ways to take advantage or be cruel. Its sad to say but in today's society its very much so eat or be eaten and people will do what they believe is necessary to state on top even at the expense of others.
Its just people who tend to be more passive and sweet are excellent targets. I used to be this way, but I've really come a long way when it comes to being a bit more aggressive myself. There really doesn't seem to be another way. Its easy to sit there and think you can just ignore others or smile them to death but you hit a point where you just won't progress in the world and that is just down right frustrating and depressing.
To keep a balance, I generally remain easy going and passive around those I've established a safe relationship with and when I'm doing things like work, I tend to step it up a bit. It takes quite a bit of practice. It doesn't come over night. But in order for this to get better I firmly believe you have to train yourself to be a bit more confrontational and assertive when people start crap with you.
