There have been studies that have established being too kind always is harming your physical, mental, as well as emotional health. Always saying yes, always smiling, always staying silent to avoid conflict might look perfect on the outer level but deep inside you your mind and body is undergoing constant stress. As you push down anger and frustration, your brain becomes alert, stress hormones begin to build up, which in the long run affects your immune system, and might cause autoimmune diseases.
 
I am not aware of any stufies but I believe being overly kind without boundaries can affect you in all three areas.
Mentally, it can lead to overthinking, guilt, or burnout when you constantly put others first. Emotionally, you may feel drained or unappreciated if your kindness isn’t reciprocated. Physically, ongoing stress can contribute to fatigue and tension.
Kindness itself isn’t the problem, it’s the lack of balance. You need to care for others without neglecting yourself.
