About the Nice Guy Syndrome
The Nice Guy Syndrome is a way of being many men have adopted in an attempt to get their needs met.
The syndrome was first identified by the American psychotherapist and author, Dr. Robert Glover, in his book No More Mr. Nice Guy.
Nice Guys typically...
Give in order to get by creating covert contracts with others
Avoid conflict so they don’t have to risk anything
Aim to please others so that they can get approval
Try to fix other people’s problems to feel better about themselves
Lie and hide their flaws
Act like chameleons - wear 'masks' in different situations - to fit in, rather than just being themselves
Avoid responsibility in their lives and relationships
Have pent up the resentment and anger from being ‘nice’ all the time and not getting what they secretly want in return
The Nice Guy Syndrome is a debilitating condition that seems so invisible and intangible to the Nice Guy, yet so persistent, powerful and pernicious… surreptitiously sabotaging the lives of men and the people close to them.
No More Mr. Nice Guy® was created specifically to help men break free from the limitations of their Nice Guy personas to be more empowered and authentic versions of themselves and to live the lives they really want.
