I carried 'Not Nice' in my bag for months like a security blanket. Its advice on voicing needs without guilt changed how I interact in gaming communities. Now, if a teammate’s toxic, I mute them instead of enduring it 'to be nice.' The book taught me that self-respect isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. My Discord friends actually thanked me for setting that example.
After 'Not Nice,' I rewrote my personal rules. One big shift? Stopping apologies for harmless preferences. If I decline a book club pick because it’s not my genre, I just say 'Not for me' instead of 'Sorry, but...' The book emphasizes that over-apologizing dilutes your voice. I also noticed how media glorifies self-sacrificing characters—think Mikasa from 'Attack on Titan'—and realized heroism can also look like prioritizing your truth.
Let me tell you, 'Not Nice' flipped my worldview upside down. I used to think kindness meant always saying yes, but the book argues that real kindness includes honesty—even when it’s uncomfortable. I started applying this to my hobbies too. Instead of pretending to love a popular anime my friends raved about, I admitted I preferred niche manga like 'Vagabond.' Surprisingly, they respected my honesty! The trick is framing your truth without aggression—like swapping 'That’s stupid' for 'I see it differently.'
This book made me rethink fandom culture. We idolize characters who ‘take crap’ silently, like early-season Deku in 'My Hero Academia.' But 'Not Nice' celebrates the Katsukis—flawed but unapologetically themselves. Now, when debating plot theories online, I state my views boldly instead of hedging. It’s led to livelier discussions and oddly, fewer arguments. People engage more when they sense genuine conviction.
Reading 'not nice' was like a wake-up call for me. For years, I'd nod along in conversations, agreeing just to keep the peace, even when I disagreed. The book's core message—that being 'nice' often means betraying your true self—hit hard. It made me realize how much energy I wasted smoothing over conflicts instead of standing firm in my opinions.
Now, I practice small acts of unapologetic honesty. If a coworker suggests a project approach I dislike, I say so—politely but clearly. It’s scary at first, but the freedom afterward is exhilarating. The book’s exercises helped me identify my ‘people-pleasing’ triggers, like fearing rejection or wanting to be seen as ‘easygoing.’ Slowly, I’ve replaced those habits with boundaries. My relationships feel more authentic now, even if not everyone approves.

"I heard you like bad boys," Blade says with a vivid smirk on his face.
I glared up at him, without responding clenching my fists fighting the urge to punch him in the face.
"So...?" He says after a couple of seconds of silence.
"So what?"
"So what do you think...Tinker Bell?" He says emphasizing on the stupid name.
His face moved closer to mine and I stared back into his green eyes, watching the fire inside ignite.
I smirked, "Then find me one."
Blade grins at my witty retort and shrugs it off.
"I look at you and I see cotton candy, but then you open your mouth... and suddenly you turn into liquorice," he scoffs.
"Welcome to the game bitch, your move, now let's play."

When the plus-size, scholarship girl everyone overlooked becomes the heartthrob of Sterling Heights' most powerful captain, the gossip changes fast.
Battling a dying mother, a mountain of secrets, and a world that was never built for her, Clara lets her guard down for the first time. What she doesn't know is that every moment she felt chosen was built on a lie, a silly dare.
When the truth comes out, her world shatters. The ridicule triples. The girl who finally felt seen is suddenly the joke of the whole school.
She has two choices. Let it destroy her, or let it build her into the girl no one will ever overlook again.
Which will she choose?
I always had it all. I never expected for everything to change after only one night. One second I'm out having fun and the next I'm knee deep in crap with only a boy I just met to help me see it through.
I've been overlooked by the Lawson family a hundred times over.
On birthdays, they only ever get a cake for my sister, Jocelyn Lawson.
When I'm sick, I lie alone in a hospital bed while they fuss around her.
I tell myself to tough it out and be a good daughter, but no amount of my endurance ever earns me a drop of their favor.
On my wedding day, I think I'll finally get my moment to shine, at least for once.
But I'm wrong.
My parents, my brother, and even my fiance—Felix Wright, the head of a mafia empire—abandon me to attend Jocelyn's graduation ceremony. They leave me standing alone at the altar, enduring the guests' whispers and pitying glances.
But Felix just throws me a cold line. "It's just a wedding. We'll make it up another day."
It's not the first time.
At our engagement party, Jocelyn whimpers about a stomachache, and he rushes her to the hospital without a flicker of hesitation. I'm left to smile through gritted teeth, making excuses to a room full of guests.
That's the moment it hits me. To them, I'll always be the spare.
So, I walk away. I pack my bags and carry a secret with me—the child growing inside me.
This time, I'm done waiting for their scraps of affection.
I'm starting a new chapter in my life, for me and my baby.
Reading 'Not Nice' was like a wake-up call for me—I realized how much energy I wasted trying to keep everyone happy. The book’s blunt honesty about people-pleasing hit hard, especially the part where it explains how saying 'yes' to others often means saying 'no' to yourself. I started small, like turning down invites that drained me or voicing my opinion even if it might disappoint someone. It felt awkward at first, but the more I practiced, the more natural it became.
One thing that helped was reframing guilt. The book talks about how guilt isn’t a sign you’ve done something wrong; it’s just discomfort from breaking a habit. Now, when I feel guilty for setting boundaries, I remind myself it’s part of the process. Funny enough, people respect me more now that I’m not always available. It’s like the book said—you teach others how to treat you.
