Deep dives
Understanding People-Pleasing
People-pleasing is rooted in childhood experiences where individuals learned to prioritize others' needs over their own, often due to performance-based love in their family systems. This behavior can stem from being parentified, where a child assumes adult responsibilities too early, or from growing up in a single-parent household where one parent's needs overshadow those of the child. As a result, individuals may develop a mindset that their self-worth is tied to how well they meet others' expectations, leading to a chronic need to satisfy others in hopes of gaining love, validation, or acceptance. The dangers of this mindset include a diminished sense of self-worth and difficulty in articulating one's desires and needs in relationships.
