@thechrishinton: If you’ve ever been a people pleaser, this is for you. This isn’t just about boundaries—this is about what happens when you finally stop handing out free samples. We don’t talk enough about the chaos that comes after you get healthy. Let this be your wake-up call—and maybe even a bridge to help the people in your life understand what’s coming. Tag a therapist, a friend, or someone who needs this message. And if you want to go deeper, my book Who’s Talking is on Amazon—all proceeds go to Shriners Children’s Hospital. #peoplepleaser #fawnresponse #emotionalhealing #boundaries #therapytiktok #selfawareness #traumahealing #innerwork #codependencyrecovery #extinctionburst #relationshipdynamics #whoistalking #HealingJourney #mentalhealtheducation #shrinktok #selfgrowth #emotionalintelligence #childhoodwounds #stoppeoplepleasing #nervoussystemhealing
Not having hard conversations because you know it’s going to disrupt the peace…and the disruption is harder to deal with than just staying quiet.

This is me. I just left my relationship of 8 years, not because of something he’s done wrong, but because I’m learning what I deserve, and it’s more. I know I hurt him, and it hurt me too 1/2

Fawn is Similar to Stockholm Syndrome. The victim aligns themselves with their abuser to survive.

Making excuses for someone else’s behavior…instead of sticking to my boundaries, my needs. I’m so willing to give up what I need and accommodate others. I’m aware of this now, and awareness helps!

Lesson learned in therapy: keeping the peace with others creates a war within yourself.

This is exactly what happened with me and my last relationship. “Less tolerant of dysfunction.” You nailed it with that one! I’m much happier alone.

Too much to type. Short version. I people please cause I don’t want him to spend his elderly years alone.(because that’s what he tells me. I’m the love of his life) Even though I’ve tried to end it many times. I feel guilty. He has nothing

I don’t know how to do anything differently. I automatically change into the person they need. A chameleon

People pleasing by not holding my boundary is when I would say no. They would push and try to convince me until I said yes.

I have been dealing with this where I communicate exactly what I need, he may try to improve for a few weeks but ultimately reverts to what's comfortable. we are stuck in a revolving door.
