Nice guys often find themselves stuck in the friend zone, unable to make that romantic connection with the women they're interested in. There are even married folks, whose sex lives suffer becuase they are too nice–its crazy! This persistent lack of romantic success can lead to a deep sense of isolation and feelings of inadequacy. It's not just about being alone, it's about feeling invisible and undervalued despite their apparent niceness and unspoken intentions.

Life can be tough. It throws challenges and setbacks at us when we least expect them. But as Charlie Mitchell, the 'Nice Guy Rebel,' found out, with the right mindset and determination, you can overcome any obstacle. In this blog post, we'll explore a little bit of my story, the lessons I’ve learned, and how I turned setbacks into moments of growth.

Many people believe that questioning God is not acceptable, but I often wonder why. Job asked, “How many wrongs and sins have I committed? Show me my offense and my sin. Why do you hide your face from me and consider me your enemy?” - Job 13:23-24

It's natural to question and doubt when faced with challenges. What's essential is not letting these doubts consume you.

Being nice often gets you accepted. People find it easy to like you because you're agreeable, non-confrontational, and generally easy to get along with. But acceptance is not intimacy. Acceptance is shallow; it's built on the absence of friction, not the presence of genuine connection. Intimacy is messy. It comes with highs and lows, disagreements and reconciliations. It involves being seen, flaws and all, and being loved not in spite of them but because of them. When you trade your authentic self for a version that is easier for people to accept, you trade intimacy for mere acceptance.

One of the most challenging lessons I've learned is that it's possible to grieve improperly, to move too swiftly through the stages, brushing aside the complexity of emotions because they're too heavy to bear. However, improperly handled grief can have long-term consequences. Today, as a "veteran of grieving," I want to share seven signs that you might not be grieving in the healthiest way possible.
