You’re Not “Too Nice” — You Were Trained to Disappear
You’re Not “Too Nice” — You Were Trained to Disappear
Have you ever said “it’s fine” when it really wasn’t? Have you ever explained yourself over and over just so no one would be upset with you? If so, you’re not weak. You were trained to be polite in a way that slowly made you shrink. Many of us were taught that being “good” meant being quiet, agreeable, and easy to deal with. But over time, that kind of politeness can turn into self-sabotage.
Self-sabotage doesn’t always look dramatic. It can look like smiling when you’re hurt. It can look like saying yes when you’re exhausted. It can look like apologizing for things that aren’t your fault. The world often rewards people for being nice, even when that niceness comes at a cost. We get praised for being calm, helpful, and flexible — even if we feel invisible inside.
You Were Taught to Self-Sabotage Politely is about breaking that pattern. It’s about learning how to speak clearly without being mean. It’s about setting boundaries without feeling guilty. You don’t have to become loud or aggressive to stand up for yourself. You can be calm and strong at the same time.
If you’re tired of shrinking to make others comfortable, this book is for you. You don’t need to be smaller to be loved. You don’t need to over-explain to be respected. It’s time to stop disappearing politely — and start showing up fully.
