“[This subreddit is meant] for all the self-proclaimed ‘nice girls,'” the moderators of the online community write in its ‘About’ section.“For the women who complain ‘guys are only interested in sluts.’ For women who complain that men are shallow for not dating overweight women, while also demanding that their man have washboard abs. For the women who hold others to the highest possible standard, but have no standards for themselves.”

“This sub is not for female incels,” the moderators clarify, adding that, “this place is not for crazy girls,” either.
We got in touch with the people taking care of this online community and asked if they believe there are levels to the nice girl syndrome, or is it more like a ‘package.'“It’s an honest mix,” the moderators toldBored Panda. “Some are extremely immature, some are extremely toxic, and others are just jerks.“But it’s not just the nice girls that the members of the subreddit are fed up with. “Repost bots are the current most hated thing. These are generally accounts that have been around 4-6 months; they suddenly come to life and will repost a post from 2-5 years ago, with the exact same title, attempting to farm karma.”

“We’d like to add that you should always read the rules first and foremost before you post,” the moderators said.“Remembering the human is also extremely important.” And that goes beyond just reposting.

According to writer Raluca Popescu, the notion that you have to be nice to everyone in order to be loved and accepted is basically a mission impossible and a completely useless task to even try in the first place.“This idea is based on a deeper one that says ‘you are not good enough,” Popescuexplains. “So you have to do things and be in certain ways to be loved. Things and ways that almost always do not reflect the real you.““If you are a nice girl how could you say ‘no’ when a colleague asks for your help with that report that’s his responsibility?” Popescu asks rhetorically.“You don’t have kids waiting for you at home so you spend on two extra hours to help. And he will take credit for it. But you don’t mind, you are so nice, you are happy you could help.”

“However, if you look at your past relationships you will find a common thread: they were all based on at least one key factor. This factor assured the impossibility of the relationship to ever turn into a fully committed one.”
This key factor that she talks about can be any a variety of things, from him being married to a huge age difference and him having some type of addiction.“As a rule of thumb, you choose a man that for some reason is unavailable to fully commit to a relationship. You stay with him as long as that barrier is there so you have something to fight for. This way you hide your own fear and easily ‘blame’ it on him. The mindset is: ‘If he only did this or that…'”

Popescu says she has thought a lot about how women can overcome the nice girl syndrome. She thinks that once they realize that they might be suffering from it, they should consciously choose to act and think differently.“Just be curious and open about it,” she advises. “Don’t take yourself too seriously. Laugh when you catch yourself acting automatically as a nice girl.““There is a beautiful, authentic you underneath the mask. Do yourself and the world a huge favor and let it shine!”
