The Pleaser indirectly tries to gain acceptance and affection by helping, pleasing, rescuing, or flattering others. Loses sight of own needs and can become resentful as a result.
- The Pleaser tries to earn attention and acceptance through helping others.
- This is an indirect attempt to have one’s emotional needs met.
- It is fed by two original assumptions that are picked up in childhood:
- I must put others’ needs ahead of my own.
- I must give love and affection to get any back. I must earn it and am not simply worthy of it.
