People Pleasers in Relationships
- We might, in irritation, be tempted to label our lover a liar or deceitful. But something far more poignant is at play. What we have on our hands is that most benighted of psychological types – the people-pleaser, a harried soul morbidly fearful of expressing their true opinions lest these clash with those of others and prone to initiating a variety of secret agendas in the hope of continuing to be liked. People-pleasers are hard enough at the office or in ordinary friendships. But they're especially tricky in love, for their behaviour so carefully tickles the area of our most profound hope – that someone, at last, agrees with us. It isn't that the people-pleaser is deep down entirely at odds with us. That would be too neat and, in a sense, simple enough to deal with. It's just we can't easily tell when natural alignment ends and manic subservient agreement begins. What should we make of this musical enthusiasm? Do they really think exactly as we do about money? The questions get ever larger and more consequential.
