@elly.psychologist: People pleasing isn't about getting people to like you. People pleasing isn't about wanting to be liked. If you thought people pleasing was this, you're not on your own, I used to think this too. I then had training in emotion focused therapy and having years of experience with clients in the therapy room that I came to understand that people pleasing is something that's a lot deeper. Let me explain people pleasing to you... #peoplepleasing #therapistsontiktok #therapy #therapytok #society
People pleasing is a form of manipulation and is far FAR more damaging and gaslighting than direct conflict is. People pleasing serves no one and leads to deep resentment to other people

I spent my life being a family pleaser only to be betrayed and discarded once they bettered their situation with my help, so be warned.

I should be so much of a people pleaser looking at my parents and their reactions etc. But as an eldest daughter aswell, I am more of the "speak up" kind of person, as I just think in my head that many people are fake and pretending anyways, so I am usually not scared to "lose" anyone besides my siblings and bf. Which might also not be a great thing

not to keep them close, more to keep them away to finally be alone and in peace once all the demands of others are fulfilled.

But tbh constant conflicts because it’s your needs vs someone else’s needs are so tiring too. And who is to decide whose needs are more important?
