the people who need this kind of advice are pushovers and constantly give of themselves to others, only to be taken advantage of. they're Nice Guys. as in they're too nice. maybe it's because they expect reciprocation, maybe because all they have to offer is niceness. maybe they're just naive.

who do you think needs advice to be more ASSERTIVE? people who are already assholes? think about what you're saying for like 2 fucking seconds.

these points are the areas they _ARE DEFICIENT IN_. again, straw man, poor reading comprehension with a lack of context to who the intended audience is meant to be, and mental fictions.

telling a mentally broken or underdeveloped Nice Guy that they need to be more selfless is a crock of shit, it's dishonest, and it's cruel. please be more aware of reality.

fwiw the comment has a lot of upvotes.

If you want to do them, fine. But they're not going to make you successful at relationships, because everything about them has to do with you.
