Exploring the Complexities of Nice Guys
Nice guys, according to Dr. Robert Glover, often conceal their true selves in pursuit of external validation. This behavior stems from a desire to be liked and loved, leading to a cycle of seeking approval by hiding aspects of themselves. The fear of success and failure both play a role in this behavior, with many nice guys struggling with authenticity and inauthenticity.
