People pleasing is really an attempt to control someone else’s perception of you and reality.

This is a form of gaslighting and manipulation.


This is actually a detriment to yourself. The sooner you show up as your true self the sooner you get to know their true intentions for you. That way you can determine and decide if you want this person‘s company or not. But when you pretend to be something that you aren’t you attract inauthentic people which creates an inauthentic experience because you weren’t being your authentic self.

This also creates a lack of connection as the disconnection in the relationship perpetuates the loneliness you feel when you aren’t able to authentically connect with your partner due to your inauthenticity.
