5 Hidden Ways You're People-Pleasing Without Knowing It
You already know the obvious people-pleasing patterns. This episode isn't about those. It's about the five subtler ones that look like generosity, thoughtfulness, or being a good friend, and never get addressed because they don't feel like the problem.
Dr. Aziz walks through each of the five, names the specific mechanic underneath, and explains why one of them was a turning point in his own life when a client called him out for wrapping himself around other people like a plastic bag.
This episode covers:
- The bobblehead agreement that starts before you've heard what was said
- The extra exclamation points and what they're actually doing
- Swooping in with help nobody asked for (and why it feels like generosity)
- The stomach-tight logistical stress that's fixer energy in disguise
- The open-door no that kicks the can down the road to your future self
