The Challenges and Impact of Being a People Pleaser in Relationships
Living with Reactivity
Do you live with reactivity? I know; I used to. To some extent, we all do. We all have the capacity to react, defend, and blame. It's part of the human experience.
People pleasers with this dominant archetype are often the ones who don’t express themselves over time, causing their system to feel like a pressure cooker that eventually explodes. This reactivity can lead to negative outcomes, particularly in intimate relationships.
The Impact of Being a People Pleaser in Relationships
Being a people pleaser in an intimate relationship can be challenging. When you constantly suppress your feelings and need to please him,
It repels good men and attracts immature relationships
Pushes away intimacy and understanding
Creates drama
Creates lots of bad feeling
Fuels an environment of entitlement and fear
It's compelling to think that this way of being is the definition of vulnerability and yet it's totally the opposite.
Breaking the Cycle of People Pleasing
Blaming and shaming never work; they are dead-end streets that lead nowhere. I have walked down that street all too often. Instead, people pleasers need to learn
Calm their nervous system by taking a breathe, going for a walk
Express in a loving and playful way
Express how they are feeling a little day by day so they don't explode
LOVE their inner child through these moments
Seek support to integrate and shift their relationship to vulnerable expression.
I know this one can bring up a lot of shame and remorse...and yet
