This week, Donnie and Stephanie discuss the characteristics, causes, and implications of people-pleasing, a behavior often linked with anxiety and low self-esteem.
The conversation covers the 14 signs of being a people-pleaser, and potential causes like trauma, co-occurring personality disorders, fear of conflict, and low self-esteem.
The hosts emphasize the importance of learning to say 'no', setting boundaries, self-care and seeking professional help when required.
Notably, they reveal that women are more likely to become people-pleasers, stemming from societal pressures to be nice, nurturing, and self-sacrificial.
