What is Nice Guy Syndrome?

New full length video out today!

In this video, we explore the concept of Nice Guy Syndrome, a term coined by Dr. Robert Glover in his book No More Mr Nice Guy. While not a clinical diagnosis, it's a well-recognized pattern of behavior affecting many modern men. Nice Guys are often people-pleasers who hide their true feelings to gain approval, avoid conflict, and control how others perceive them. This leads to inauthentic relationships, suppressed emotions, and deep personal dissatisfaction.

We break down the universal and common symptoms—like fear of rejection, covert contracts, emotional shame, and difficulty setting boundaries—while also exploring the different types of Nice Guys: the Performer, the Controller, the Wallflower, and the Inner Critic. Root causes often stem from childhood trauma, strict parenting, bullying, or emotional neglect.

Recovery isn’t about becoming aggressive or turning to toxic ideologies—it’s about building confidence through honesty, facing discomfort, and living with integrity. Healing means risking rejection to be your true self, even if it costs friendships, reputation, or comfort.
