Also, she did think he just wanted to hire her, how the hell was she supposed to know he wanted to get to know her because he wanted to DATE her? Jenna Peterson’s Guide to Dating Emotionally Unavailable Men: When dating an emotionally unavailable man, get ready for disappointment. I loved the family relationships and characters having to discover their true selves and facing hard things and healing and learning and growing and so much more! Not Nice by Aziz Gazipura is a self-improvement book that helps us overcome the fear of rejection and build healthy boundaries.

Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold, expressive, authentic version of you. He doesn't focus very much on the, "how this person became the way they are" and then how they slowly became more "real", only focuses on how they had said one thing and somehow we are supposed to believe they changed after that one conversation. Gazipura stresses that overcoming the Nice Guy Syndrome doesn't mean becoming unkind or indifferent. I appreciate that it's pretty straightforward and yes almost cliche, but it still easily held my attention.

Gazipura frequently meanders around a topic for pages upon pages without reaching anything resembling a conclusion. The hard copy is beneficial to have to ensure you can do the exercises and reflect back on achievements.

There are many people who have difficulty with this skill — but luckily, it is something you can teach yourself to do. I am personally a very empathic person and would usually care that other people are feeling great in my presence.

Long answer: I've struggled with people pleasing, anxiety, low self esteem, and stuttering my whole life. The author does an excellent job of exploring the negative effects of people-pleasing, staying silent, and feeling guilty, and provides practical advice for how to overcome these tendencies.

Aziz' somewhat annoying, very male, totally self-confident approach was just the medicine I needed to break through the bubbles I'd constructed around my behavior and expectations as I sacrificed my needs for those of my family during my child-raising years. While it was repetitive at times, it made me more mindful of when I'm being 'too nice' and not my authentic self.
