So-called “nice guys” seek validation, avoid conflict, and suppress their needs and desires. This can leave them feeling frustrated, disconnected, and resentful. These patterns can harm their relationships, self-esteem, and ability to live authentically.

Men need to break free from these behaviours and reclaim their sense of self. This means learning to set boundaries, asking for what they want, and releasing the shame they carry, especially around sexuality and vulnerability.

When men show up as authentic, grounded, and confident, they create deeper connections and live more fulfilling lives.

This conversation with Dr Robert Glover will help you

• Break free from seeking external validation and develop genuine self-confidence
• Embrace your masculine energy while maintaining authenticity in relationships
• Move beyond the "nice guy" syndrome and create more fulfilling connections
