People-Pleasing Defined
- People-pleasing involves prioritizing others' needs over your own, often stemming from a desire for acceptance.
- This behavior seeks external validation due to an underlying worry of not being good enough.
Childhood Origins

- Children primarily seek parental love, and reprimands can be perceived as a withdrawal of that love.
The Overachiever
