Could you elaborate how being nice can cause a physical pain?

It's all there in the amazing book by Dr. John Sarno called the divided mind which I wrote about here (1).

It's the clash between id and the super-ego that causes it and there are thousand (if not more) people who got better from this pain.

If you search google for "TMS pain personality" you will find thousands of articles but this seems like a good start as any (2).

Unfortunately it's not for everyone because you really need to have an open mind (it's okay if you're a skeptical though) to unlearn your pain.
