Ep. 26 - 'Toxic Niceness' - "I can't say no to my friends"

Do you ever feel like you over extend yourself, or feel resentment that you're always doing too much for others?  Sometimes 'being nice' is the toxic thing to do!

In this episode we explore the topic of 'toxic niceness'. The uncomfortable truth is that if we are 'being nice' when it is not appropriate too, then we are actually not being a good person. Enabling a friend's bad behaviour (or anyone's), and abandoning what feels right for ourselves is actually toxic behaviour. 

Often we convince ourselves that this toxic behaviour is just us being compassionate or caring, and we hide behind a moral veneer.  The uncomfortable truth is that we may be lying to ourselves and lacking the courage to confront the bad behaviour and do what is right for us.
