Pleasing Is Not Love When It Comes From Fear
One of the biggest breakthroughs I had while studying the teachings of Tony Robbins was realizing this:
๐ my pattern was pleasing.
For years, I thought I was simply loving, supportive, and giving.
But deep inside, I was often giving from fear:
๐ fear of losing connection
๐ fear of rejection
๐ fear of conflict
So I tried to keep love at any price.
And this is important:
๐ pleasing is not the same as giving from abundance.
Because when you give from fear,
you unconsciously expect something back:
recognition,
validation,
love,
care.
So even if it looks generousโฆ
inside it becomes emotional trading.
I saw it first in friendships.
I let friends into my home too easily.
Some stole from me.
A few even broke in when I wasnโt home.
I still remember my momโs response.
She didnโt shame me.
She simply said:
๐ โChoose more carefully who you bring into your home.โ
At that time, I didnโt fully understand it.
And honestlyโฆ
I repeated this pattern for years.
Especially in relationships.
I would give,
avoid conflict,
ignore boundaries,
and shut down my own needsโฆ
until eventually I emotionally collapsed and closed myself off.
Now I understand:
๐ people may want kindness
๐ but nobody wants a pleaser
Because pleasing feels sweet in the beginningโฆ
but long-term it creates imbalance, resentment, and burnout.
And most of these patterns begin in childhood.
One child becomes a pleaser.
Another becomes aggressive.
Another shuts down emotionally.
These are nervous system adaptations.
And nobody can change them for us.
Just like nobody can build your health for you โ
real emotional change requires awareness, practice, and consistency.
Recognizing the pattern is where freedom begins.
