People pleasers are constantly trying to please everyone, which can be exhausting, especially when you're trying to keep up with all the demands of your job, family, friends, and significant other. You might think that people-pleasers are just doing what they think will make everyone happy—and that's true—but there's another reason why people pleasers do what they do: They're afraid of disappointing the people around them.
 
This fear comes from a deep belief that if they don't meet certain expectations, then someone might leave them or stop loving them. So, when someone asks them to do something or give something up for them (like time or money), they say yes because they're worried that if they don't do what's being asked of them, then their relationship will suffer or even end.
 
But in reality? The only thing that happens when you say yes to everything is that life gets harder and harder as you try to please everyone else while sacrificing your own needs along the way. This usually leads to burnout and exhaustion because you're not giving yourself enough time to recharge!
