The Cost of Being Nice: Childhood Trauma & Anxiety #shorts

If ‘being nice’ is costing you your peace… you learned that somewhere.

That knot in your stomach when someone asks for “just one more favor”?

That guilt when you even think about saying no?

That’s not personality, that’s programming.

Somewhere in your childhood, “being nice” became emotional survival.

You learned to keep the peace, avoid conflict, earn love, and stay safe by giving pieces of yourself away.

And now your brain still runs that same old script… even when it exhausts you.

You’re not weak.
You’re not selfish for wanting boundaries.

You’re simply replaying what helped you survive.

The good news?

You can update that internal file and stop abandoning yourself to protect others.

Watch or listen to the full podcast episode to break the people-pleasing pattern at the root.
