#60 ADHD & People-pleasing
Manage episode 416847266 series 3567685
Have you ever called yourself a people-pleaser?
I’m Xena & I am a recovering people-pleaser.
I cared so much about what other people thought of me & would prioritise the needs & desires of my friends, family or colleagues, above my own.
And by doing this I was telling myself that my needs & what I wanted weren’t as important... Further adding to my insecurities & lack of self-worth.
Overtime I became a chameleon - I didn’t know who I was or what I really liked because I was always going along with everyone else.
People pleasing is a pattern of thinking & doing things that prioritise what other people think over what we think - Sacrificing pleasing yourself in order to please others.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Why ADHDers people please
- How this pattern of behaviour impacts our ADHD symptoms
- How we've got the idea of "people pleasing" all wrong
- Where people pleasing comes from in our brain & how to change it
