Ep. 524: The Pitfalls of People-Pleasing

Lately, Danny has been taking more girls’ trips in an effort to maintain some individuality outside of her relationship. We love our partners, and we love nurturing them, but when your sole sense of self is tied to your partner and their needs, your own sense of self and your needs start getting ignored, and before you know it, resentment starts growing. We were raised to be people pleasers, and while we’re so great at making others happy, it’s a lot harder to bring that same level of care to ourselves. Ultimately, the only person in charge of how you feel is *you* and if you’re starting to resent your partner, family, friends, coworkers, or really anyone in your life, it’s up to you to make a change and learn to prioritize the things you need before you worry about everyone else.
