People-Pleasing Origins
- People-pleasing is a behavior where individuals prioritize others' needs over their own, often at their expense.
- This pattern develops in childhood when children learn to prioritize others' needs to receive love and validation.
Conditional Love Example
- A child receives praise and affection after a good basketball game, but silence after a loss.
- This can lead the child to believe love is conditional upon their performance.
Perception vs. Reality
- Though parents' love may not actually diminish due to a child's mistakes, children perceive it as such.
- This perception creates a connection: "I must be this way to be loved."
