So I'm sick right now.

But so's my roommate. She's acutally a lot sicker than I am and has been sick since last month. So, I've been helping her out. I've stayed up at night so in case she needs me. I make her food and get her stuff she needs. If she's too hot I turn down the temperature, I even open my window (which is right over my bed) even though it's currently freezing outside. I've told my other friends about this and they say she's taking advantage of me. They're saying I'm being too nice and that I should put myself out and make myself uncomfortable (especially when I'm sick) just for her.

I wave it off, saying she's really important to me and I want to help her out. She's suffering right now, a lot really, and I want to make her comfortable.

But I'm I being "too nice"? Am I letting myself get taken advantage of because of this? I don't want to be a bad friend by not helping her when she's like this but am I being taken advantage of? I'm just not sure.
