really do anything to help me out. What can I do to make people stop overlooking the things I do for them?
First you stop doing those things you do for them.
If they don't notice you stopped then you've just ended being an over-compensating, self proclaimed, "nice guy" who expects reciprocation and gets resented when he doesn't get it (like a typical self-proclaimed "nice guy" would) and you get to relax and just be.
If they DO notice that you've stopped then just say, "oh I didn't realize you appreciated those things I was doing" and then do them again.
