Very often our desire to please is a symptom of a very deeper issue. How I see most of our toxic beliefs and things that we have to learn to unlearn is that, there must have been a point in your earlier life where you first experienced what would be a seed and with every similar experience or triggering situation the roots of the seed infiltrated your life and way of being to entrench themselves even deeper. So with that, you end up building a coping mechanism that becomes your auto-response to situations that may appear similar though at times contextually different and may not require a defense response. However, since you have been so used to fighting and protecting yourself you’ve built an armor against anything that would trigger the same feelings.
In this episode, I speak to a question that Masala shared - How do I stop being a people pleaser, and comparing myself?
