The Art of No by Lloyd Leon

The psychology of people-pleasing is deeply rooted in the human desire for acceptance and approval. For many individuals, particularly those identified as people pleasers, the urge to satisfy others often supersedes their own needs and desires. This behavior can stem from various factors, including childhood experiences, societal expectations, and personal insecurities. Understanding these psychological underpinnings is crucial for those who wish to break free from the cycle of constant appeasement and learn to assert their own boundaries.
