For many, the desire to be liked by others is so strong that we derive self worth and value from pleasing others.
This pattern of people-pleasing appears in the form of giving too much or too little to others, not knowing or asserting our limits, getting involved too quickly, trusting too easily, intruding on others’ boundaries, staying in toxic relationships, heightened stress & pressure to appease others, intense emotions (especially guilt & shame), great difficulty saying “No,” Even at the expense of our own needs & mental health.

That being said, it’s time to start holding ourselves accountable to being informed.We have endless information at our fingertips, now we need to use it.
