Deep dives

Understanding People Pleasing

The phenomenon of wanting to be liked is a natural part of human behavior, rooted in our social nature and the need for community. While this desire can lead to kindness and empathy, it can also escalate into a toxic form of people pleasing when it overrides personal values and self-identity. Toxic people pleasers often experience low self-confidence and a fear of criticism, which compels them to conform to the expectations of others at the expense of their mental health. Recognizing this shift is crucial, as it can result in a pattern of behavior where individuals compromise their beliefs and boundaries to seek approval.
