NİCE GİRL SYNDROME

You may have the "Nice Girl Syndrome" if you disregard your own thoughts while trying to please others and prioritize everyone else before yourself.

The Nice Girl Syndrome is a condition where women tend to stay in the background and remain obedient and silent in environments where men take the forefront. Parents raise male children by telling them they can do anything and do it well, while conditioning female children to prioritize the superiority of others. Others' desires are deemed more important than their own, and they avoid confrontation. They take on the burden of responsibility from a young age and are in constant motion. They dislike criticism, perceiving it as an attack against themselves. Generally, their characteristics include being evasive, anxious, having low self-esteem, and low self-respect. They believe they can only be complete with a man. They believe their lives are normal and struggle to say no. They seem unaffected by anything and struggle to express themselves. They never admit to being tired or fed up, acting as if nothing is wrong. They believe that if they don't know anything or do anything, nobody will love them and they won't be accepted. Etiquette is more important to them than anything else. To break free from this mindset, they can start by acknowledging that they won't strive to please others, won't ignore situations they dislike, will say no, and won't seek approval. They need to let go of feeling guilty and learn how to set boundaries. They should express their own desires and needs and put themselves in the spotlight. Ultimately, they should be kind to themselves.
