Jesus fuck, I needed this thread.
I've been going through this dilemma for about half my 20s after being a cocky jerk in my late teens.

You need to create a balance between new pacifist you and the old asshole you. Can't be too nice, can't be too much of a dick.

I find that trying to find that balance is a HUGE drain. It makes one think very hard during social interactions. I can do one or the other quite easily, but the balance just ends up creating indecisiveness.
People say introverts are ones that find social interactions draining. Trying to find that balance has easily turned any sort of extraversion in me into introversion.

Nice guy is the one that always gets screwed in the end.

It's my life lesson.

Nothing worse than people using other people's kindness to their advantage/against them.

People are assholes

Haha aint that the truth. I can either be really nice or I can make people wish they never met me with one simple jackass conversation. Hard to get it just right.
