However, if someone is rude to me, I find it hard to be nice to them.

Just remember that all that happens when you return rudeness with rudeness is that you escalate the conflict. There are times to meet people's energy and give them exactly what they are giving to you, and there are times to understand that person is hurting and extend grace. It's my experience that the latter is often the better route.
