The People-Pleasing Paradox: When Being Nice Makes You Mean


Listen Later

What if your kindness is actually a form of dishonesty? 


In this provocative episode, I challenge the conventional wisdom about putting others first and reveal the uncomfortable truth about people-pleasing that most "nice people" never consider. Discover the hidden costs of saying yes when you mean no, why authentic relationships require disappointment, and how fear—not generosity—drives most acts of self-sacrifice. 

If you've ever felt exhausted from constantly accommodating others or noticed a pattern of building resentment despite your best intentions, this episode offers a perspective shift that could transform your relationships.

The most surprising insight? True kindness sometimes looks nothing like what we've been taught. Learn why boundaries might be the most generous gift you can offer to both yourself and those you care about.

Discover the exact tools that transform how you work, make decisions, and live: https://www.timehackers.xyz/blueprint
