The Dark Side of Being Nice

Welcome to another episode of Words With Myself. Today, we delve into the concept of being "nice" and uncover its hidden complexities. While being nice is often seen as a positive trait, it can also mask a lack of boundaries, self-respect, and self-love.

We explore how the compulsion to be nice can lead to self-destructive patterns, causing resentment and feelings of being taken for granted. Learn why it's crucial to prioritize your own needs and establish healthy boundaries to avoid the pitfalls of people-pleasing.

This episode also examines the origins of this behavior, often rooted in chaotic childhoods and the desire for love and acceptance. Understand why it's important to shift from being merely nice to being a genuinely good person who respects and honors their own feelings and boundaries.

Join us as we challenge the societal standard of niceness and advocate for a balanced approach that values self-care and authentic kindness.
