The author Sarah Gailey captures a poignant struggle with anxiety and people-pleasing, stating she needs reassurance every 15 seconds to avoid emotional drama.
For years, I possessed a remarkable superpower: I could turn almost any work opportunity into an unpleasant emotional drama simply by agreeing to do it.
People-pleasing tendencies arise from a fundamental denial of our limitations as human beings, creating an absurd expectation to manage others' emotions.
Ultimately, people-pleasing is a form of perfectionism, rooted in the need to control others' perceptions and emotions, which is unattainable.
