Mister Nice Guy
People-pleasing persona
Mister Nice Guy is an agreeable, accommodating man—often invoked when that approach fails or gets abandoned: No more Mister Nice Guy.
The phrase usually appears in the negative, when someone announces they're done being pleasant and will now assert themselves.
Sometimes shortened to Mr.
Nice Guy.
