People pleasing as a coping mechanism

People pleasing is a coping mechanism that develops in response to childhood environments that are unsafe or unpredictable. It involves dismissing one's own needs and hyper focusing on the needs of others to create a sense of safety. This coping mechanism is often learned subconsciously as a way to control situations and people, but it can persist into adulthood.
