Dr. Aziz warns that being too nice backfires: the dying regret not living true to themselves, suppressed emotions cause health problems, and nice people get left, cheated on, or overlooked in relationships. He urges listeners to become bolder.

If you're too nice, I have a warning for you that you might not like but you're going to want to hear because it can save your life. I know that might sound dramatic, but there's truth behind this. Most nice people I talk to will say, yeah, I know I'm too nice. And then they smile and then they go about living their lives. What they don't realize is the number one regret of the dying is that I wish I lived a life that was true to myself, not the life that other people want of me. And that means most nice people are going to end their life and die with questioning regret. Most nice people are going to develop health conditions that are a result of that emotional suppression, which is a key hallmark of niceness. And ultimately most nice people will not have satisfactory to relationships. They're often left or cheated on or looked over. It's time to make a change. Life will not get better until you become bolder and change this pattern once and for all.
