What Is People Pleasing?

Season 1 Episode 5

The term 'people pleaser' seems to get thrown around a lot, with many being quick to assign or be assigned, this title, as a way of providing reasoning behind particular actions or thoughts. But when we hear it, or say it, do we really even know what it means? And do we understand the motivations or circumstances that may be causing  this kind of behaviour? 

In this episode, Nat presents a simple and easy to follow breakdown of what some of the main people pleasing tendencies are, and why, if we find ourself displaying these, it may be worth reflecting on whether or not we want this to continue. 

The episode wraps up with Nat sharing a couple of thoughts and actions that can easily be implemented to keep people pleasing at bay, or at the very least, ensure better protection of valuable time and energy.
