8) People pleasing

Some of the other behaviors on our list generally fall under the people-pleasing category.

It can tempt you to:

  • Be as agreeable as possible, even when you think someone is wrong
  • Apologize for things even when you have nothing to be sorry for
  • Think that other people’s needs are more important than your own
  • Stretch yourself too far by doing too much for other people
  • Swallow the negative emotions you feel toward others, such as anger and frustration

The bottom line is as long as you’re always putting other people above yourself in every situation — you cannot live authentically.
