The Nice Guy Recovery & Confidence Building Brotherhood
This is a group coaching program led by Confidence Coach Dan Munro, for Nice Guys and people pleasers who want to become more authentic, assertive, and masculine, to achieve better relationships, unbreakable self confidence, and respect from others. Who is This For? This program is designed specifically to help recovering Nice Guys. If you identify with most of these issues, then you can rest assured they will be addressed during the program 💥 Fear of conflict and inability to set healthy boundaries that demand respect 💥 Tendency to fix and manage other people’s emotions, always seeking to keep them happy even though it’s exhausting and they don’t appreciate it 💥 Lack of enjoyment and satisfaction in your love life, meaning you have an unsuccessful dating experience or you’re in a relationship that you’re worried about sabotaging with your people pleasing 💥 Fear of rejection and abandonment, leaving you feeling unable to take risks, speak your mind, and go for what you really want 💥 Uncertainty about who you really are due to a lifetime of hiding your true thoughts and suppressing your feelings **Spaces limited to 50 members at any given time. People will be waitlisted when the group is full. The Goal Help you reduce your people pleasing tendencies so that you can become a masculine and integrated man who is confident in himself, able to set and maintain boundaries for respect, knows who he is and what he wants and isn’t afraid to go for it. ✅ Stop caring about what other people think and instead prioritize your own integrity, making you more attractive, integral, and certain of your decisions. ✅ Learn how to build the courage and skills necessary to navigate difficult conversations and conflicts, leading to healthier relationships and strong self-respect. ✅ Replace procrastinating and avoidance with powerful action-taking and risk management to ensure you stop missing opportunities and get over your fear of rejection. ✅ Discover your core values and begin the lifelong journey of revealing your true self and honouring yourself with your actions.

Feeling Struck and Empty Inside - While the Outside is Great!
Its a self-diagnosis and bit of professional diagnosis. I suffer from Complex Post traumatic stress syndrome having gone through childhood trauma. And then there's nice guy syndrome, borderline personality, and maybe more. The point is that I've worked at being 'good & nice' so that then everything will be all-right. So got good grades in college, worked hard to make a marriage work, my kids love me, build a good happy family life with the white picket fences, station wagon, and the dog. It still doesn't feel good on the inside. Cuz, I've been fixing things and people without considering the most important person in the whole story. ME. This may sound selfish and self-centered. But hear me out. I have spend the better part of my life fixing things. And they are pretty much fixed. So how is it that I feel shitty, empty and unfulfilled? Bcuz, I started the wrong way. I started Outside In. And the right way is INSIDE OUT. I've to focus on my needs, desires and that would involve struggles too. It ain't about going out and lifes a party kind of living. It's more closer to what energizes me and at the same time is just outside my comfort zone. For example, I've been so busy gazing and working away at the computer, researching, designing , building away to make money and fortune. All of which are good and have their place. The wake up call is, that when I finally looked up and away having got all the financials taken care off. I realize that life has been passing by and QUICKLY. I've bought into a narrative that doesn't serve me and doesn't add happiness to my existence. So, I'm going to eat the humble pie and have started to pull away from the computer and live more in the real world. I won't live life lop-sided, only early more money to feel worthy and have my self-esteem along with my self-worth go up and down on a roller-coaster with my profts and losss statement. I'm getting out more and the interactions are getting better and Real. I already have a routine, fine-tuning it to add more fulfilling things that I love doing. Taking on more work, but more focused on the process and not rushing to some goldpot at the end.

Perfectionism and Excessively High Standards
Good related video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvgfucVF5cU It seems I have caused a lot of mental anguish and stress for myself due to unrealistically high standards imposed from Narcissistic parenting. This manifests in many of the ways Dan talks about as far as these symptoms of spreading oneself too thin, making myself very busy, etc. It plagued my sex/romantic life as well, as far as the last relationships go, I would be broadly unenthused about the women and subconsciously pushed away, even though they were good people and partners, because I was only very mildly attracted to them physically. The practical makes sense as far as cutting tasks, etc. But it seems as far as my emotional reactions, both neurotic stress as well as ennui and anhedonia, comes from lingering ridiculous standards for my future. At some fundamental level, emotionally, I seem to get a sense of despair when considering the fact that: 1) I'm a research mathematician, and just an OK one at that, and it is to be expected that my income will be modest and job security tenuous 2) I'm an OK musician, and it is to be expected that busking and open mics are where I should aim to perform, experience says trying to perform at popular venues or release music online is a waste of everyone's time. The healthy and mature Stoic perspective would be to dedicate my life towards enjoying math and music in their own right. Certainly working in dedicated practice to improve, but without "swinging for the fences" and with modest targets and contentment with relative obscurity. Emotionally there is a lot of internal resistance to this. Is there some mindset aspect, psychological exercise, or even theme of psychotherapeutic intervention that could fix this? Or is this a matter of just becoming more disciplined in general as well as more specifically with meditation and spiritual and gratitude practices, and over time this greedy ambition will dissipate, and I am being perfectionist about recovery :) ?
