I should tell you why I was kind of a Nice Guy (TM) and why Nice Guy shaming is the WORST thing you can do

While I think comedy in general is a powerful tool to criticise things and make people aware, I agree with you, straight up bullying rarely helps and those same jokes over and over again got real old real fast.

But what does help? The first time I ever read about "Nice Guy syndrome", I realized I had it, and I immediatly started working my way out of it.

Why are people proudly making their own jokes, blaming some "Chad", instead of taking a good, long look at themselves. Getting laid is obviously not about being a drug dealing, heart breaking jerk, but about self-esteem. Self-esteem that "Nice Guys" don't have, usually because of psychological problems.

Well, try to convince an alcoholic they're alcoholic, while they blame all the world but themself. Unlike alcoholism, low self-esteem is not considered some kind of disease and therefore the stupid don't realize to be respectful.

I mean, there are no entire communities mocking alcoholics, or paraplegics, are there? Actually I don't want to even know.
