Like many, I used to believe that people who had anxiety were stuck in the habit of worrying about the future and/or lacked confidence in their ability to handle difficult situations.
Do you ever struggle to let go of something that happened in the past, or something you said and regretted, or something that someone else said? Do you feel anxious trying to guess why someone did or said something you didn’t like?
People pleasers typically lack boundaries and have a hard time saying no. They tend to put other people’s desires before their own which causes them excessive workloads and too many sacrifices.
