16 - Is Being a People Pleaser a Bad Thing?
[The boundaries workshop is no longer running]
Do you identify with being a people pleaser? Do you have the compulsion to go out of your way to do things for others to your own detriment?
Many consider being a ‘people pleaser’ a negative, implying that you can’t stand up for yourself and establish boundaries. But for others, it’s often just about wanting to help people—and is that such a bad thing?
The fact of the matter is, it isn’t a bad thing at all. However, there’s a line that you can cross that can turn wanting to help others into compulsive people-pleasing.
Here’s an overview of what was discussed.
- Why being a people pleaser is not inherently a bad thing.
- Taking time to think about your accomplishments.
- What circumstances cause people pleasing to become harmful.
- Why people grow up to become people pleasers.
- How to become a healthy people pleaser by identifying what your boundaries are and learning how to enforce them
