We all want to be accepted by our peers. But sometimes our desire to be liked can be taken to the extreme and turn into excessive people pleasing. We’ve all known people pleasers—we might even be a people pleaser ourselves. But if we’re constantly going the extra mile to make other people happy, we might just lose who we are in the process.
