Summary
Being “nice” often looks harmless, but it slowly erodes self-respect, attracts resentment, and kills intimacy. This episode breaks down how people-pleasing disconnects you from your truth, why boundaries trigger guilt, and how honesty is essential for real connection. A reflective guide for choosing clarity over approval. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-skills-squad-podcast--6097332/support .
