072. Why Do I Keep Putting Everyone Else First? | How to Stop People-Pleasing Without Feeling Guilty

Why do you always put everyone else's needs before your own… and then end up resenting them for it?
In Episode 72 of The Johnny Lawrence Podcast, I answer a listener's question and explore why so many of us become people-pleasers, where it begins, and how it's often rooted in childhood conditioning rather than genuine kindness.
I explain the difference between being kind and seeking approval, why resentment is usually a sign of an unmet need, and how setting healthy boundaries isn't selfish, it's an act of self-respect.
If you've ever struggled to say no, feared disappointing others, or felt responsible for everyone else's happiness, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it.
Takeaways
👉People-pleasing is often self-protection, not kindness.
👉Resentment is a sign of an unmet need.
👉Boundaries protect relationships and self-respect.
👉Awareness is the first step to lasting change.
👉Small boundaries build lasting confidence.
👉You teach people how to treat you.
