As a people-pleaser grows up, they feel "responsible for the happiness of others ... and while they're feeling responsible for other people's happiness, they tend to neglect themselves."
People-pleasing is an embedded behavior, making it difficult for individuals to change. It involves prioritizing others' needs over one's own, leading to self-neglect.
There is a link to family culture in childhood; children may learn this behavior from adults or due to trauma, creating a cycle of people-pleasing.
Stopping people-pleasing isn't as simple as just saying no; it often consists of a repeated pattern of putting others' needs above oneself.
