Nice work. I’m slowly coming around to the idea that I am a people pleaser. I don’t think of myself that way, but what people think does impact me.

That’s obvious, because it impacts everyone.

But certain people are motivated in that particular way. I don’t think they need to be associated with certain people, like famous people or successful necessarily, but they want people to think good things about them.

It relates to accountability and expectations. That’s how certain personalities are motivated.

People-pleasing also seems to tie in with being a 'super-empath' which then leads to being a 'rescuer', an 'enabler' of dysfunctional/toxic relationships. When you say 'no' and step out of such a way of relating, be prepared to be blamed for 'ruining' someone else's life.

Joshua. You NAILED it. Thank you for being here and blessing us with this wisdom. Standing in the corner after “ruining” a life has become a standard practice over here!

Thank you. My comment is born of experience - but it took some decades until I recognised what was going on. Never mind, that's why we are here on this planet - to grow in consciousness. :)

Wow....there are so many small but impactful nuggest here. I appreciated the questions you asked and her answers hit on so many levels. I never thought about staying in the uncomfortable on purpose, but growth only happens outside of your comfort zone, so it makes sense. ♥️
