Nuance Needed

28. Why People Pleasing Makes You Angry & How to Stop Part 2


Listen Later

Ready to get uncomfortably honest about why being "the nice one" is leaving you feeling resentful? This is part 2 of our people pleasing episode. Go listen to the first episode before diving into this one!

In conversation, we tackle:

* The exhausting cycle of expecting people to read your mind

* How avoiding conflict actually creates MORE conflict

* Why assertiveness feels like aggression when you're used to people pleasing

* Sam’s experience learning to stop apologizing for existing

* How resentment builds when you don't express your needs

* Why your passive aggression isn't as subtle as you think

* The freedom that comes from letting people be upset with you

* Amanda's story of making amends at Wawa
