The truth about people pleasing
Peace, everyone. I just wanted to share some insight on appeasement. To be clear, people-pleasing is not a personality trait or characteristic. People-pleasing is a learned behavior that was adopted as a child to cope with overwhelming experiences. For instance, my people-pleaser was developed due to my dad physically, emotionally, and verbally abusing me. As a protective mechanism, I learned to people-please, meaning I shifted the behavior that my dad, Dean, considered unacceptable into a more likable behavior.
We are animals first and humans second; therefore, the human body would do everything to survive. The problem is that we still operate from this behavior and relationships with others. There is a little girl or a little boy inside us that still thinks, and believes that they have to show up in this way to be accepted, loved, and safe.
I am here to tell you that you can unburden and let go of this part of yourself and live more authentically. 🙏🏿✨✨
