072. Why Do I Keep Putting Everyone Else First? | How to Stop People-Pleasing Without Feeling Guilty - Why Do I Do This? with Johnny Lawrence | Lyssna här

Why do you always put everyone else's needs before your own… and then end up resenting them for it?

In Episode 72 of The Johnny Lawrence Podcast, I answer a listener's question and explore why so many of us become people-pleasers, where it begins, and how it's often rooted in childhood conditioning rather than genuine kindness.

I explain the difference between being kind and seeking approval, why resentment is usually a sign of an unmet need, and how setting healthy boundaries isn't selfish, it's an act of self-respect.

If you've ever struggled to say no, feared disappointing others, or felt responsible for everyone else's happiness, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it.
