1. You love to please others.
When you’re not rooted in your own worth, you go out of the way to make others happy. A lack of inner love translates into a need for constant approval and appreciation by others.
To do:
- Take note of the times you go against your own will and do something you don’t want to do.
- Start to become aware of this behavior. The first step to ending the people-pleasing game is to acknowledge that you're playing it.
- You can start to practice standing up for yourself and drawing boundaries where you need to.
