People pleasing is not kindness. It’s a trauma response you’ve developed to survive.

Many of us were taught that if we explained ourselves better, gave more context, more effort, more access to our thoughts, people would finally understand us. Love us. Choose us. Validate us.

But over-explaining isn’t clarity. It’s a trauma response.

People don’t over-explain because they’re bad communicators. They over-explain because they learned early that being misunderstood wasn’t safe. Because they were surrounded by people committed to misunderstanding them.

So they gave more. Helped more. Advised more. Over-delivered in hopes that someone would finally see their worth.

That wasn’t kindness. That was survival, often shaped by controlling, obedience-based environments where love was conditional.

People-pleasing masked as kindness is self-abandonment dressed up as generosity. It’s explaining when no explanation is owed. Giving when it costs boundaries. Shrinking in hopes of being chosen.

Unlearning it isn’t about becoming colder.
It’s about becoming free.

As we all work on sharpening and building new skills, consider sharing them with others in a form of charity sometimes. Receiving compensation and honorariums is good and valuable. But every once in a while, consider building the spiritual mindset and heart to restrain from collecting money as a form of charity.

Why is this important for the o real formation?

1- It purifies motivation
2- It builds interior freedom
3- It deepens humility & gratitude
4- It aligns skill with meaning, not just utility
5- It strengthens solidity & belonging
6- It forms the heart alongside the mind
7- It trains us for lifelong purpose

Compensation develops professionalism. Charity develops the person. True formation requires both, but charity ensures that our growth remains human, grounded, and spiritually alive.

It can be in a form of time/efforts
- Donating your time
- Applying your skills

It can be in a form of material things
- Clothes
- Money
- Food
- Household items

It can be in a form of actions
- Helping others
- Smiling when greeting others
- Removing something harmful from the road
- Making a prayer for others
