The Truth About People-Pleasing.

The Truth About People-Pleasing. This clip explains people pleasing better than most psychology books do because it shows how irrational it feels in real time. He did not want extra cream. He knew he did not want extra cream. He rehearsed the sentence over and over in his head. But the fear of slightly inconveniencing another person became stronger than his own needs. That is why people pleasing becomes exhausting over time. You start managing everyone else’s emotional comfort while silently abandoning your own. The scary part is that it can happen in tiny everyday moments so often that it starts to feel normal. Eventually you stop asking yourself what you actually want and start asking what version of you will make everyone else comfortable. That is not kindness. That is survival mode disguised as politeness. Speaker: Kristen Bell #discomfort #peoplepleasing #emotionalpatterns
