THIS IS Why Being NICE Leads To REJECTION | Marisa Peer

If you were always encouraged to be 'nice' or 'good' as a child, it was likely said with the best intentions. But I've worked with clients for whom this casts a shadow over their lives, leading to excessive people-pleasing and making choices misaligned with their true desires and identity.
Does this sound like something you've struggled with?
I urge you to connect with your real passions and needs. You don't need to be a hell-raiser, but you do need to build healthy boundaries and respect your heart's calling. Click the link to watch my free 'I Am Enough' masterclass; it's a great place to start 💖

This is especially hard for people who come from an abusive childhood we have low self esteem and no confidence or self worth

[@valeriemurdock4425]

I am just really learning this very hard lesson. I have been a people pleaser my entire life, and I am all by myself because of it. I feel that by always putting others first, I sent the message to them that I am last. No one values or appreciates me.

Im putting my hand up too. Ihve heard that saying a long time ago that nice guys comes last. Its so true

[@RandomUser25122]

When I was a kid growing up I often heard the guys with girlfriends say “treat em mean, keep em keen”. I didn’t think that sounded right so spent much of my life being nice. I eventually realised that on the dating trail, nice guys really do finish last. Or at worst, you’ll only get the bad boys leftovers when she’s fed up being treated badly. No thanks. If it means playing a role I’m uncomfortable with, then so be it. You can’t be a chump forever.

[@ciel222]

Yes it s a great thing when you are respectful and nice but you must not allow people to ABUSE YOU , You must have BOUNDARIES.

[@bazoukalification]

I love this! I once said no to a very closed friend of mine and I lost her friendship. She asked me to sleep at my place for a couple of months with her Siamese cat i didn't like and I had only a one bedroom apartment!!! That request seemed unreasonable and I got a lengthy goodbye email afterwards. Be prepared to loose friendship. It has been 10 yrs and I still feel the lost somehow and this video is helping greatly. I am able to let it go. I am sending her positive and loving thoughts. Hope she is well as I am.🙏

[@nanitaheart]

Specially in our latin culture, the women must say yes and do what is expected to be considered a "good wife" and if you don't, then you are called toxic, a witch, difficult. I am now divorced, but I found out my husband had told his family we would not be intimate, and I felt very humiliated because his aunts said I did not do my duty as a wife. Now, as I meet someone I tell them, I will say exactly what I feel, and that does not make me toxic, I have feelings, I am allowed to get upset if you leave your dirty clothes on the floor, I am allowed to get mad if I you dirty a mirror I have just cleaned. I am allowed to say NO I do not want sex, because this is MY body, and if I did have sex when I do not want to, that is abuse. When I date someone I tell them, I will always tell you how I feel and think so you can decide if you can handle it or not, that way you will never say I did not meet your expectations, that would be on you if your self made expectations dont get met, as I have shown you exactly as I am. The feeling of not being afraid of how people perceive you is very freeing, and I have noticed people respect you more, because you show them your boundaries from the beginning.

[@sweetacapella]

👏👏

[@nanitaheart]

@@starbattles1 saying what you feel and think does not equate to being mean or toxic, you can say things respectfully, and calmly. It means you respect yourself enough to let others know you will not be put down by any means. I am a very nice and sensitive person, and by letting others know how to treat you, lets them know not to mistake your kindness for weakness. I have had no problem meeting people, I am the one choosing now, not them. If you believe you are perceived as toxic, then maybe take a look at how you say things, being acertive does not mean being disrespectful. If you let others upset you, then they have won, they have power over you. What I mean is to let them know for example that you are not a servant, not their mother to pick up their mess, not their toy, not their possession.

[@emilyi771]

My friend has the exact same story about watching a baby, and it was 6 weeks! What was supposed to be a few hours turned into 6 weeks with a tiny baby. She was happy to have that baby because she was already taking care of her own baby of a similar age, but she said that mom was lucky she didn’t call CPS. The mom turned up 6 weeks later and took her baby like it was no big deal she had left her there without a word, without a phone call to check in.

[@claudieC.]

This happend to my mother in the 60s. The woman paid my mother 5.00 a week. Then showed up and took her baby back.

[@barklertrapplefleas5466]

This is life changing information! As a psychic and empath, I’ve always been in tune with others emotions, so much so that forgo my own emotions to assists others with theirs. Years of this behavior lead me to feeling rejected, unloved and unappreciated. I didn’t know why people never put me first, when I put them first, but then again, I trained them to believe they didn’t have to, because id be there no matter what I didn’t get. No more!! If a person can’t show me the love and respect I show myself, then that person isn’t in alignment with my life.

[@MarisaPeer]

Never forget yourself, that you too have feelings and emotions. You are also worthy to be prioritized, to be loved and to be appreciated. No one can say otherwise. 💖

[@theroadtoamillion]

So true. I’ve been a ‘nice guy’ for far too long.

[@traces2807]

A therapist startled me when she said "Do you EVER say no?!" It really was a wake up call for setting boundaries in my relationships. I have always been the one to drop what I am doing to help everyone and got taken advantage of time and again. You can still be a good, altruistic person while setting boundaries, it just takes practice.

[@robina.disotell5683]

Being raised by a covert-narcissist, I never even considered my own needs. Once I started to understand why I always felt obligated to help, to fix other people's problems and say yes, it still felt selfish and unnatural. For me the "solution" was to go half-way. If I was asked by some one for anything, I would say things like, "OK, let me check my schedule, "OK, I'll think about it" or "Let me get back to you on that". This allowed me to search my own feelings, which I also had to learn to do. Plus it gave me the time to come up with an explanation. Then I progressed to the point that I hated having it hang over my head and would answer within an hour or so. Fast forward 5 years. I now know what I like doing or not. I have no problem any longer saying "Sorry, no can do". If that person tries to persuade me, I look them straight in the eyes with raised eyebrows and ask "which part of "No" don't you understand?!" Why should I care more about a person trying to manipulate me than myself? ;-)

[@ayoonismail329]

[@kathcruz9345]

This is for everything until your job, you need to put your boundaries to your coworkers and be nice be responsible but don´t have to be with a lot of work over you like it doesn´t exist another person in the company. We need to be with the truth with us and everybody, say no, and be loyal to ourselves because we deserve respect and equal conditions in every aspect of our lives. We aren´t machines, we are humans, that need to love ourselves. We need to leave behind the panic, the fear, the anxiety, we need to be as we are, we are unique and valuable.

[@pam164]

I find in work you get the cliques and they will do and say anything the managers ask of them so when you stand up for your self to manager they don't like it! I can't stand creeps that cosy up to management.

[@saharatopaz558]

Find it difficult to say NO outright - say - You'd best ask others as well, because my plans are not solid and I may have to refuse your request... That way they have been WARNED and YOU have warmed up to the idea of refusing a request. With the money request - say you just spent a big chunk and are not liquid. They may keep asking at other times, just use the same excuse - they get the hint. I WAS a chronic people pleaser, now I'm a grown up - who doesn't need to dodge and weave - can say a big chunky ~NO~ . Thanks Marisa!

[@eggshell99]

Wow, thank you! This sounds like my life. Every week at work someone needs money for something. I’m learning to say no. I will get better at setting boundaries.😊

[@nickbargas7352]

This is such great advice. The person seeking to find the answer to the question as to why they are a "people pleaser" will need to go back into their early childhood. Good luck if you can find it because if you do, life won't be the same again afterwards.

It s a matter of intelligence : you have to be nice if you are scared that you ll be hurt and shock frozen and can t talk back when the hit back comes. Not all people are intelligent or saying no would t be a problem. And that is something you can t change. Babys say no because their parents consequences are mostly mild. The others learn pretty quickly that yes hurts "less"...

Thanks, Part of my challenge in voicing my opinion is with learning to cultivate a tone of kindness and fairness, better described as neutrality, rather than a tone of contempt, disdain and underlying harshness., while describing my needs.

Next day I found her house key in my mailbox with a note: thank you so much for taking care of my cat, I love you so much, you’re such a good friend.’ I’m a cat lover and have my own cat. So I left the key on top of my mailbox and forgot all about it all together. No contact big time. Couldn’t care less.

Being a people pleaser and being nice and kind are two different things. Being nice is a part of the fruit of the spirit of God for those who believe!

[@MrCardinal1965]

The idea that a person being nice (people pleaser) is purely derived from childhood programming does not really tell the whole storey. According to The Big 5 Factor Model of personality some people are nice because they are high in the personality trait of Agreeableness. The trait Agreeableness comprises the 6 facets: Modesty, Compliance, Empathy, Altruism, Straightforwardness, Trusting, which are natural predispositions for all people, who can either be high or low in each of these facets. It is highly likely that early childhood experiences either positively or negatively reinforced these traits helping to form the person you are today.

Being nice has an agenda. It's a form of manipulation due to attachment disorders. Being kind is connecting with the light inside yourself while still having boundaries.
