If you constantly say yes when you want to say no…
feel guilty when you put yourself first…
or find yourself agreeing to things you resent later…
You might think your problem is boundaries.But the real problem might be the pattern underneath it.
In this episode of Why Do I Keep Doing That?, Brenda Florida explores the deeper pattern behind people pleasing — and why it’s rarely about kindness. Most people-pleasing behaviors come from a place where disappointing someone once felt unsafe.
When you start to understand that pattern, everything changes.
You’ll learn:
• Why people pleasing is actually a learned survival strategy
• How this pattern shows up in relationships, work, and family dynamics
• The hidden cost of constantly putting other people first
• A simple tool that interrupts the people-pleasing reflex
If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?”, this episode will help you start seeing the pattern more clearly.
