stop being such a nice guy

I’ve been doing some reading on the “nice guy” and I have decided I have to change the way I feel about myself. From now on, I’m going to make sure that I feel good about myself, more confident and not be a wuss. I’m not going to try to please people as much. If they don’t like me for the way I am, that’s their problem and not mine.
I’m not going to be a jerk but I’m not going to let people walk on me anymore. I’m going to make more of my own decisions and not just go along with what someone else decides. My feelings matter as much as anyone else’s.

I think I’m making some progress on this goal. I don’t agree with people as much and I don’t worry about what other people think. I also don’t try to please everyone. I’m not turning into a jerk but I’m also not being a wuss either.

I bought the “No more Mr Nice Guy” by Dr Robert Glover. I’ve read it all and I’m going to read it again. I saw myself in many of the descriptions of “nice guys” that are in the book. One thing I’m going to really work on is being less anxious about things and not be afraid to do and say what I mean. My new mantra is “I can handle it”. I’m starting to feel better about myself already but I know it’s going to take a lot more work.

Where do I start to achive this goal? I’ve always been “such a nice guy” all my life. I really need to change my image at least a little. I’m sure there’s a way to “not so nice” but not a jerk either.

I have to stop being such a nice guy and trying to please everyone. I need to do things for ME at times and not other people.
