Today we’re talking about one of the most common Nice Guy patterns: Giving more than you get. On the surface, it looks kind and selfless. But underneath? There’s often a hidden contract — an unspoken expectation that others should return the favor. The problem is, no one else knows about this contract. So you give, and give, and give… and when nothing comes back, resentment grows. I’ve been in this situation. It’s exhausting, and it’s not who you truly!! are.
