It’s possible that a lot of your “Nice Guy” behaviour actually stems from a core of kindness, and it’s important to distinguish between the two.

You’ll know if you’re genuinely kind if you don’t care whether others notice or appreciate your kindness.

You can also stand up for yourself and upset people if necessary, in order to live with integrity.

You don’t fear rejection more than the average person.

You don’t mind directly asking for what you want.

You’re good at ending relationships and rejecting people— you don’t force them to do it, by sabotaging the connection.

You prefer being honest over being liked.

You’ll tell the truth, even if it upsets someone, if that’s what they really need to hear.

You take care of your own needs first and don’t sacrifice yourself for others.

You treat those who are closest to you with more courtesy and consideration than strangers, associates, or even your boss.

If you demonstrate many of these traits, then you likely don’t have Nice Guy Syndrome, because there’s a lot of confidence in this list. You’ve got that assertive backbone and integrity to back up your kindness and compassion.

However, if you feel uncomfortable with the information just provided, there’s a good chance you may have the Nice Guy syndrome.

If you want to improve your life, then maybe you need to do something about it, because it doesn’t have to be a life sentence.

You don’t have to become an entirely different person; there’s a new, confident, masculine way of living that everyone will actually prefer. However, it will require some discomfort.
