Today we look at how we prove the people-pleasing dilemma wrong by finding a way that gets the other person what they want and, at the same time, gets you what you want. It is the essence of true people pleasing. And how do we do this? We look behind what the other person is saying to discover what it is that they really want. We then see how this is the same thing as what we really want. Listen in to discover why people don’t ask for what they really want and how all humans really want the same things.

In this episode, we start to delve into the steps I set out last week, beginning with step 1, How to Know If You Are in a People Pleasing Situation. Before doing this, I recap the steps and explain why they work so well. Our exploration into step 1 looks at how we can differentiate between people-pleasing and kindness and thereby dissolving the fear that if we stop people-pleasing, we will turn into horrible people who have no friends.

No one is born a people pleaser, we have just developed these behaviours to deal with circumstances in our lives. In this show I tell the story of how I became a people pleaser and how it helped me get so much that I wanted in life. Until it didn’t.

It started when I was young and felt like I never fit in. I figured out a way to behave that got me lots of friends, a great job and an amazing life. But I started to find it harder and harder to keep everyone happy and it started to unravel.
