What happens when being the nice guy starts costing you more than you realise?
For most of my life, Karim has tried to say the right thing, keep people happy, and avoid letting people down. But recently, he’s started questioning whether being nice and being good are actually the same thing.
In this episode of Koon Rijjeil, Karim reflects on his own relationship with people-pleasing, the decisions he’s made for other people instead of himself, and why becoming a good man can sometimes mean doing things that don’t feel very nice.Because when you’re used to keeping everyone happy, choosing yourself can feel selfish.
Saying what you really think can feel wrong. And disappointing someone can make you question whether you’re doing the right thing at all.
This episode is about learning the difference between being liked and being honest. About making decisions that actually reflect your values. And about accepting that sometimes, doing what you believe is right might disappoint someone else.
In this episode, we discuss:
• The difference between being a nice guy and a good man
• Why people-pleasing can become a difficult cycle to break
• Putting yourself first without becoming selfish
• Why doing the right thing can sometimes feel wrong
• The fear of disappointing the people around you
• Making decisions based on your own values and beliefs
• Why honesty isn’t always about saying what people want to hear• Letting go of an older version of yourself
