People-pleasing is often a strategy for staying connected. If you anticipate others’ needs quickly, maybe conflict or abandonment will not arrive.

The cost shows up later, resentment, exhaustion, or losing track of what you actually want.

Self-worth tied to usefulness can make rest, limits, and ordinary disappointment feel dangerous.

Therapy helps you separate being kind from being self-erasing, and practice boundaries that preserve relationships where possible.
