The “Nice Girl” Trap: How We’re Taught to Prioritize Politeness Over Boundaries

Growing up, I don’t know how many times I was told to “be nice.” Whether it was sharing toys I didn’t want to share, letting others go first, or holding my tongue when I wanted to speak up. The message was clear: my job was to be polite, pleasant, and accommodating. At the time, it seemed normal. After all, being nice isn’t a bad thing, right? But somewhere along the way, “being nice” started to look a lot like putting myself last.

It sounds harmless enough, but think about how many of us, especially as girls, are taught to put others’ comfort over our own needs. That childhood lesson of being “nice” is more than just good manners — it’s a subtle push to downplay our own feelings and prioritize other people’s. And the real problem? When you grow up believing that being “nice” is your job, you start to feel uncomfortable saying no, setting boundaries, or doing anything that could make someone else unhappy.

Fast-forward a few years, and I’m the teenager who apologizes when a guy won’t stop texting me, even though I’m clearly not interested. I’m the friend who’s always available, even when I’m exhausted, because I don’t want to disappoint anyone. I’m the person who will bend over backward for others and feel guilty if I don’t. And I know I’m not alone. The “nice girl” mindset has taught so many of us that it’s better to be uncomfortable than to make anyone else feel that way.

For the longest time, I didn’t realize what was happening. I thought I was just being “a good person.” But here’s what no one tells you about the “nice girl” mentality: it teaches you that your comfort, your boundaries, and your needs don’t matter as much as making other people feel comfortable. It’s a message that says, “If someone wants something from you, it’s mean to say no.” And if you grow up with that idea long enough, you start to feel guilty anytime you do stand up for yourself.

It’s not that being nice is a bad thing. The world could always use more kindness, and there’s a lot of good that comes from being considerate. But when “nice” means sacrificing your own comfort and needs, it becomes a problem. Because here’s the reality: boundaries aren’t rude. They’re necessary. And as much as we’re taught to care about others, no one really teaches us that it’s okay to care about ourselves, too.

I didn’t fully understand this until I found myself feeling completely drained by the people around me. I was constantly saying yes to things I didn’t want to do, going out of my way for people who wouldn’t do the same for me, and feeling guilty every time I even thought about setting a boundary. I’d been trained to be the “nice girl” my whole life, but at some point, I realized that being nice to everyone else meant being unkind to myself.

And here’s the thing: when you’re a “nice girl,” people notice. They know you’re the one who won’t say no, who won’t rock the boat. The people who truly care about you will probably try not to take advantage of that, but others won’t hesitate to do so. I realized that being nice isn’t always the same as being good, and it doesn’t have to mean sacrificing my own boundaries to keep everyone else happy.

So I started setting small boundaries. I’d say no to plans if I was feeling exhausted, not just when I had a “valid” reason. I stopped apologizing for not being available all the time. And yeah, some people didn’t like it. I’d get the occasional “You’ve changed” or “You’re not as nice as you used to be.” And I had to be okay with that. I had to learn that being kind to myself sometimes meant disappointing others, and that was okay.

Learning to say no is hard when you’ve spent your whole life feeling responsible for everyone else’s feelings. But slowly, I started to realize that it’s not my job to make everyone happy. My job is to take care of myself, to set the boundaries I need, and to be true to my own comfort and well-being.

Maybe, instead of teaching girls to “be nice,” we should teach them to be authentic. To trust their own instincts, to say no when they need to, and to stand up for themselves without feeling guilty. Because real kindness should always include kindness to ourselves, too.

The “nice girl” trap is something I’m still unlearning, one boundary at a time. But I think it’s a lesson worth sharing: that it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes, that “nice” doesn’t mean saying yes to everything, and that no one has the right to make you feel bad for setting boundaries.

What you need is so little and what you are pursuing is overwhelmingly so much that it is this very mismatch in proportion that's causing all the misery in your life. You spend hours working for capitalistic oriented ventures thinking and assuming that being associated with a certain name or a certain place or a certain work culture will bring you honour, esteem or enough wealth that will improvise your life in general. Money could only raise your quality of living and not the quality of life. To live is more than just meeting your standards and ideas of comfort and luxury or perhaps in case of most, just a lifelong struggle of repaying never ending bills, dues and debts. It is like a modern slavery of endless repetition and a monotonous cycle from which you are not cutting yourself out. You have no say in your choices. You have no saying on how you choose to spend your time. You have no freedom or liberty to choose what you wish to wear. I know I'm being extremely pessimistic here and drawing out only the darker sides of corporate world but more than half the population is lost in this rat race. Do I have a solution to come off the matrix? Yes and no. If you expect a road drawn out for you, then you're making the same mistake of imitation and blind following. There's only one way ahead and that's to follow your heart's deepest calling. To boldly pursue where your soul is leading you to. Yes, you may have to tread far to lose the sight of shore but if you feel that the oceans are calling, then heed that call. If you feel the mountains are calling, then commence that journey to hit the peak. If you feel you have been blessed with a gift that's exclusive to you, then immerse yourself in it. Stand out. Walk against the crowd. Rebel, if the need be. The whole idea is to fall in line with one's truest and most innate nature, not allowing the world to tell who you must be. You are who you are, its time, high time that you claim it, that you reclaim your lost soul...

Not Your Son

It took me a while but I think I finally understand

I know why it hurts so much I finally know

Because no matter what you say No matter what I say No matter what everyone says

I will never be your son

And that's not because I’m not a guy It’s cause you don’t deserve me

I’ll be his brother, and her brother I’ll be their nephew And maybe at some point…I’ll be their dad

But I’ll never be your son

As much as you pretend you’re okay with it As much as you lie, and smile and hide behind those false emotions

You never accepted me, and you never will

Because I’m still your little girl, you never did and never will see me

You’ll never see him

You’re too caught up on what was and what could never be Too obsessed with her That girl you tried to raise, the one *I* killed

Too attached

To ------

But shes gone

So maybe I’ll try, try to get you to understand, try to convince you and explain But no matter what you say, no matter what you do

I’ll never be your son

You don’t deserve me

You don’t deserve Vex

I feel and think that those past two years have left a much bigger traumatic imprint on the collective indeed. Like no I cannot pretend that it just didn’t happen and move on with life. Sometimes I ask myself how others think they can do just this . Of course you move on. Of course you fight. Of course you break through. You try your best. But I really feel a deeproted collective trauma that is there for hundreds and thousands of years. The last two years were like a speed-up of all this stagnant , collective pain, hurt, loss, trauma. So yes it's upon us to acknowledge that we , as many(!) generations carry intergenerational trauma throughout our life, which is upon us to heal. UPON US. And this very fact is also mirrored by the collective.

like does anyone else still feel the exact same age they were in march 2020 like 90% of the time
