Day 15: People pleasing
Most people think people-pleasing is about being nice it’s not.
It’s about fear.Fear of rejection.Fear of conflict.Fear of losing connection.
If you grew up in chaos, unpredictability, or emotional insecurity, people-pleasing made sense it was a way to stay safe.
But survival strategies don’t always belong in adulthood.
People-pleasing costs you:
- boundaries
- honesty
- energy
- self-respect
Breaking it doesn’t mean becoming cold or selfish it means learning that:
- disappointment isn’t danger
- saying no won’t destroy you
- your needs matter
Reflection question:Where in your life are you keeping the peace at the cost of yourself?
Drop your thoughts below awareness is the first step to change.
