Perfectionism
and People Pleasing

Do you feel like your needs aren't as important as everyone else's? Do you judge yourself or feel like you have to be perfect? Do you struggle in relationships and have a hard time expressing your emotions and needs? If you answered yes to these questions, you are not alone. Many people struggle to have a voice and make their needs a priority. 

Other common experiences include:

 

  • Fear of failure

  • Sensitivity to criticism

  • Denial of personal problems

  • Excessive focus on the needs of others

  • Failure to meet personal needs

  • Discomfort with receiving attention or help from others

  • Feelings of guilt or responsibility for the suffering of others

  • Reluctance to share true thoughts or feelings for fear of displeasing others

  • Low self-esteem

  • Feelings of shame and helplessness

  • Self-worth based on care-taking
