Being a βnice girlβ doesnβt get you anywhere. Ofc you need to be polite but you also need to be assertive and direct. Speak up, say no, ask for what you want. Demand it even. Closed mouths donβt get fed.
You can be nice and still stand up for yourself. You can be direct and respectful. You can reinforce your boundaries and express your feelings calmly and be heard. The difference is your delivery. Being nice is not being a doormat or a people pleaser.
