S1 EP13 People Pleasers Are Manipulators

from The Adults' Table · host Fernanda Rodrigues

People pleasers aren’t just “nice”. They’re manipulators. I know that’s hard to hear, but I’m saying it because I need to hear it too. In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth behind people-pleasing: why it’s not as selfless as it seems, how it disconnects you from your true self, and how it’s ultimately a form of control rooted in the fear of being unloved.If you’ve ever found yourself constantly saying yes, avoiding conflict, or becoming whoever someone else needs you to be just to feel safe... this episode is for you. 00:00 Intro1:11 why are we people pleasers?5:12 why it’s hard to change 6:01 manipulating others9:24 you’re loved for who you are
