    One important thing I learned is that I shouldn't expect people to return favours. If I decide to help someone, I must realise they may not be as grateful as I wish they were, and that's fine.

      I wish more people would realize this.
      Being on the receiving end of this negative behavior is pretty nasty as well. Like when you accept help from someone and then they behave as if you owe them.
      Help for the sake of helping!

      I personally expect reciprocation at some point. I will accept that a favour can't be cashed in on, if I'm given a legitimately honest reason for their unavailability... but if I'm being ignored or the can kicked down the road too often, I consider the person to be unreliable or manipulative.
      I'm fairly lenient on those timelines too.
      But when I feel people are doing too much for me I will begin refusing their help until I can get to a point where I can begin repaying them. Which reminds me I need to take my friend out to few more movies.
      *edited to add some possible clarification.

    Spot on! People pleasing can be a subtle form of manipulation (possibly well intentioned) that covers up insecurity and the belief that "others only like me for what I can give them". Instead, a healthier mentality might be, "I like me and I like others, so I treat both myself and others well with consistently high standards".
    Love your videos! :)
    Keep up the great work.

      A subtle form of manipulation? I love how you turn something that is created in order to survive a wrathful childhood into a person trying to manipulate others. People learn that others only like them conditionally early on in life again in childhood. These aren't beliefs they just created out of thin air. A people pleaser would be happier not doing that so much and being more authentic. But you don't need to go making it something so negative and shadowy, like they are trying to trick you by their people pleasing.

      Humans are social creatures so we learn early on in order to maintain peace we need to somewhat people please to maintain relationships you wouldnt be able to be bluntly honest with your spouse or friends all the time or they'll eventually leave because people would rather accept a lie that makes them feel good than a truth that makes them feel bad.

    i feel like the selfish and lazy part of everyone should also be talked about with this. in the first point, that inner voice could simply be not wanting to help someone or give up your time because you're being lazy or selfish or prideful. also, sometimes doing the right thing isn't enjoyable, and that can't be the be-all-end-all measurement. your insights are much appreciated as always! and being able to say no is hugely important. but i think the above clarification should be made so people don't take it to a negative extreme.

Whether it's a driver or a servant or it's a teacher in my school or it's my best friend, I would--at the core--behave in the same manner with all of them. And I used to think that this was wrong, that the people whom I interact with are different, so I should behave with them differently. This video has eliminated that doubt within me. Really cool, man. These videos are really relatable and authentic. Thanks a ton!

After you changed, have you ever thought that the new you isn't genuine anymore? Are we actually charismatic or just shy people that know how to appear charismatic? Is it just a mask?

    Just to add a different perspective. Some of those people could have been abused, not that anyone should fix another person. But if you were to engage, in general, it might add wisdom to what you might say or see.
    My parents just plain made me feel like crap for having my opinions, feelings or desires. When they weren't busy "dealing" with each other. So, especially one parent in particular, utilized guilt like a club; also loving to gaslight at any chance when I would be vulnerable. Being born and raised into it, is messy. I knew, I wanted to be NOTHING like them; so I did accidentally go polar opposet. Being "too nice" {heard that a lot}
    On top of it, at times people being "genuinely" kind, showing interest or honest towards me felt kinda like fire on my skin. Make my whole being clutch in fear. Perspective is getting somewhat better.
    Life can be confusing sometimes, for some of us. Keep strong!

      The difference here is being a people pleaser is something you do because you fail to assert your boundaries, while not telling no to your boss is just respecting hierarchy. If your boss is abusing his role and being unreasonable, feel free to tell him no, the law is on your side.

      Sure I do.
      I don't do a definitive "no", because then I would not do what I am payed to do. But I do voice my concerns about certain tasks and say "I don't want to do this, because...".
      More often than not my boss says "Do it!" and I will. Sometimes though he sees what I am seeing.
      As mentioned in the video: Not everything is black and white and not every boss is only that. Some are real leaders and really try to do a good job.

      @gnarthdarkanen7464 5 лет назад +2

      Sorry to burst this bubble, but actually, you are INCORRECT about that.
      Most of the time, due to hierarchy, a person tends to be agreeable to a boss's demands. BUT there are rarer instances when the boss is demanding something simply TOO ridiculous, obviously abusive of office... OR worse, as in my own case a couple of times, outright ILLEGAL... In which case, I heartily recommend not only a stern, "No, sir." but even the freedom to respond flat-out, "Go fuck yourself, sir." ...or even worse depending upon just how egregious the demand.
      The fact is, regardless of social climes or conditioning, we live in a society based on LAWS and RESPECT. The so-called "caving in" to demands over monetary gains absolutely must be weighed against the structure of that society and we individually must support it. This comes at a constant cost of personal responsibility. Regardless of a command or requirement, it is still the person receiving that command or requirement who must "pull the trigger" and commit to the deed itself.
      Otherwise, the courts asking "Why did you commit murder?" really CAN be answered with "I was just doing my job." OR perhaps, "Why did you commit MASS murder?" can be answered the same... ;o)

    • @koolaidjerk
      @koolaidjerk 5 лет назад +3

      Plenty of people would tell their boss no, or at least voice their concerns/opinion. Especially someone who has been there a long time and feels comfortable. The people-pleaser would just go along with it, being resentful or thinking the whole thing was stupid, the confident and authentic person would question it first.
      "Hey, I know you wanted me to do X but that seems redundant because of Y. I think working on Z would be a better use of our time." "I think this assignment would be better handled by ..." "I don't think X will add enough value for the amount of work it will take." "Can we postpone this assignment until after we finish X?" "We don't have the manpower to take on that project right now"
      All those responses are not only true to what you're thinking, but they are also more useful to the boss and company. Of course if your boss says "do it anyway" you would, but it's important to let them know your opinions. That's how you get noticed and demonstrate your worth. If you have suggestions on how things could be done better any sane boss would be thrilled to listen. If a project isn't worth doing for whatever reason, that's important information too.

    I've always had an inkling that I was a pure people pleaser in life and after taking it seriously for a moment (I've been really into self improvement the past few months) and watching a couple videos it's like so apparent that I'm ashamed of myself haha. I remember at times I'd question my own interests and ask myself "Did I actually like this thing or did I just want to like this thing to be accepted?" Many things ended up getting thrown out like videogames, books, music CDs, etc. because I figured out I actually didn't like them. Sometimes I've felt like I've said stuff too often while immediately feeling some internal conflict or guilt/regret that I've actually questioned if I even know what I actually like or what kind of person I really am. After watching another video it's apparent that it's come from experience with one of my parents.

    I might be exceptionally inept at small talk, but this is definitely a problem I don't have! I only deal in facts and logic, and just do not give emotionally charged responses to anyone, no matter how I'm spoken to.
    I've found this to be a rather peaceful existence, and people's constant concern of other people's approval has always baffled me; just stay 100% honest, don't lie, cheat, or steal, and just be genuine and live for everyone around you (sounds kind of cheesy, but it works), and _know_ that you're doing that, and if anyone has a problem with you, you can know they're probably inventing it, or magnifying something, or are misunderstanding something, and if you just don't raise your voice, no argument is going to go anywhere out of control.

    • @ILikeWafflz
      @ILikeWafflz 5 лет назад

      There are multiple sides to trying to be 100% honest and logical; I can sometimes state "negative" things about myself in a neutral tone, possibly sounding like I'm trying to draw sympathy when it's really an observation, or just sharing of information; while, on the other hand, I feel like I sometimes say inadvertently self-praising things in a passing manner, making me then wonder later if I accidentally came off as "look at how well I do in this"; I feel like the comment above may have given off some of that, when in reality, I just hope that somebody finds something to gain from it.

      you just have different brain chemistry. I unfortunately have the Elliot Rodger curse of autism and social anxiety disorder which makes me care what people think of me on an extreme level. The anxiety makes it nearly impossible to get over people pleasing and when people look at me as weak, treat me like a pushover, or think negatively of me, the anger makes me want to "kill" them and I probably would if I had nothing to lose. none of this would be a problem if I didn't have a brain that was wired this badly.

    All of your videos are great! I have to point out one thing in this one, specifically when you mentioned having consistent personality traits among all groups/situations you are in. Although true to an extent, it is well-known in psychology and sociology of the concept of different "social selves", where it is perfectly normal to show different aspects of our personality depending on the setting and the people we are around. It's a very interesting topic that would require more reading, but wanted to point that out! So don't feel like you are fake if you see yourself acting "different" in one social group vs. another, as long as you don't feel like you are not acting like yourself.

    Yesterday in the middle of school I horrifically realized that I'm so used to doing this very thing that when my ears hear 'can I...', without my brain even catching up with the question or sometimes even letting the person finish the question I find that my mouth has already said 'Sure' and vice versa when my ears hear a person start a sentence with 'would you like...' or more likely 'Do you want...' my mouth is already saying 'No thanks' and more and more I find that not even a second later I look like a deer in headlights and regretting my answer because either 'no you absolutely cannot' or actually 'yes I would like some' but I feel way to embarrassed to actually correct myself

    I consider myself a nice guy and when i'm comfortable I am very energetic and very bubbly. But often stray into anxiety-filled paralysis with even the same people I am comfortable with because oftentimes I just feel incapable of socially connecting depending on my mood and level of anxiety. It feels like starting over everytime.
    I used to be able to natrually be myself but now there is a huge disconnect between who I know I am to what my anxiety makes me become. Therefore, I find myself trying very hard to feel a connection because if I don't, my anxiety will keep me paralyzed and I just won't speak. The fluctuation is crazy, not because I am trying to gain something, but because some days are way more exhausting than others.
    I'm not sure if it counts as people-pleasing because I have things I believe in and am passionate about, but at the same time will 'try harder' than usual at times for a positive connection.

      you have social anxiety disorder like me. social anxiety leads to people pleasing behaviors. When I'm around people I'm more comfortable with, I can be more of myself, I can tell the person no or what I don't like but finding people I'm comfortable enough to be like that around is extremely rare for me.

  • @DMPTV
    @DMPTV 4 года назад +2

    I'm just realising this. I absolutely am a people pleaser. I do everything in order to be liked. I don't wanna create tension in the conversation. I can see the disgust in peoples faces when i'm choosing for me. I fear that they won't like me anymore. That they will hate me for the rest of their life. That they will be dissapointent in me. That I owe them something in order to keep the balance of likeability. What happens to me in conversations is that I will crumble in my attitude. It's almost like i'm going back to a phetus position. I wanna run away and protect myself.

    This video was so, so very helpful. I have a freind of over 30 years who years ago opened a business in the west indies and after it didnt work out she came back to the states displaced... over the past 8 years shes moved from city to city with family- alternating with my apartment sometimes for a year or more at a time... needless to say my friend is back and has been here over a year and I allowed her to be so comfortable that she's taken over my room and bed and I'm sleeping on the couch in my own home because of her severe phobic fear of mice (I live in NYC and yes I sometimes get mice. I know she's in desperate need and shes found it hard (or hardly looking) to find work. I want to ask her to leave so I can have my home back to myself but I can't seem to find the right words to say and I fear she'll have no place to go. I suffer from neurotic people pleasing due to early childhood trauma and often times find any form.of confrontation unbearable and I'm looking for anything to help me formulate what to say and deal with the anxiety of the confrontation after aaking her to leave. This behavior has not served me well but I cant seem to change. No judgements please.

  • @TanvirAhmed24

  • @BrownCookieBoy

    Ive always thought of myself as a chameleon.
    It reminds me of people pleasing but differs a bit.
    I try to be loyal to everyone, i feel comfortable pleasing everyone.
    My energy levels doesnt really change depending on who i am with, i kind of like taking turns socialising with different groups.
    In school, there are always groups naturally created, and i like to switch around to embrace all perspectives, it gives me secrets. People start sharing secrets with me quite fast.
    I love keeping these secrets to myself, cause if i show that i am reliable, i get more secrets, and that tells me that they feel comfortable with me.
    10 years ago in ninth grade (15 y/o) i won the friendship prize by a big margin according to the principal, so its been a big part of my life.
    But im not sure if being nice and adapting is good for me in the long run.
    I got accused of not knowing who i really am. And i mean, im comfortable by being fluid.
    Is a dynamic personality a personality?
    But i think becoming more selfish would be something good for me, ill atleast try.

    • @negg7046
      @negg7046 5 лет назад

      I am too very largely and “adapter” ,I suppose is what I’ll call them. But I don’t get nearly get just as close as you have in order for people to tell me secrets ,or would ever get a Friendship Award because I’m not as big of an extrovert. As I’m just assuming you are. Then again I’m only in middle school and can’t be sure.
      I have a question for you though. Who and how accused you of not having a personality? How did they notice? I’d think to most it’d just seem like you’re being social ,right?

    • @BrownCookieBoy

      @@negg7046 Im actually introvert. It was a girl i kind of was dating. She noticed that i was to compliant with what she was "demanding", i guess she got the feeling of that i was too easy to control. But for me, as long as its not uncomfortable or frustrating ill roll with it, and i have a really high patience/tolerance. Perfect working ant haha.
      And she was kind of the opposite of me, ruthless but still cool.
      I did get a bit suprised since i felt she needed company now and then, and we definitely enjoyed eachothers intimacy.
      Might contact her again, she will respond if she also felt like breaking contact was a bad idea.
      Ive recently gotten to know that partners often look for signs of potential success in life.
      And for me to show these signs i need to become more solid as a starter.

    There's more to people pleasers. Sometimes they act this way because letting the internal voice speak got them back bad reactions from people, which could very well mean in some cases that their internal voice is not necessarily in the right. Maybe some become people pleasers just because they desire to demand too much from people, for example. The inner voice can be messed up in itself!!

    • @adriansuchomusic
      @adriansuchomusic 5 лет назад

    @batintheattic7293 5 лет назад

    Oh my word - this is fascinating. Wow! I suddenly have a lot of self analysis to do. I wish CoC would come to my house and sort this problem out for me. I believe my natural personality state has always been 'helpful'. Being helpful suppresses my inner demons (that's the 'contract'). And I've definitely had my helpfulness taken advantage of, in the past, by specific individuals (but not many). And, in the past, I have absolutely been a different person to different people. Not based on perceived status, or anything, but I've let myself be cultivated and responded accordingly. There's a whole extra layer, of complexity, when I add in my now lifelong anti anxiety medication. Medication simplifies it all (I have become 'one' person and that person is a helpful person who has successfully ditched all social anxieties AND abusive/manipulative attachments). Sometimes, though, it is fundamentally impossible to get any physical distance from our harassers. There are people who can take that single initial incident of somebody being easy going and they will lock on to you and parasitise you until one of you dies. These people wander the world looking for their set of targets. It's their business model. They find gaps to occupy and they expand outwards. They are like tree killing fungus.
    When you've got social cohesion and harmony in your little communities - beware the drifting 'buy to let' spores. They read the obituary notices for opportunities. They're always searching for new infection sites.
