Interesting thread. I'll admit I had a lot of the nice guy tendencies. Interestingly enough, self-esteem improvement seemed to excise many of them. Remember, one of the talking points was all about allowing people to help you. Doing so allows them to feel close to you, and gives you and opportunity to validate. Positive all around.
