In our quest to please other people, we suppress our needs, feelings and desire in a bid to prioritize other people’s wants and desires. We people-please as a result of our early childhood programming by our parents, caregivers, teachers and early influencers. This early programming, conditioning and domestication makes most of us unable to say No, set healthy boundaries and stop performing for the people around us. We play different roles in different situations such as the role of being a family member, spouse, co-worker and neighbour. We people-please based on the individual we are dealing with or the authorities involved.
