đź’› Fractal Persona of the Solar Plexus Chakra: The People Pleaser
Theme: Approval-Seeking, Identity Diffusion & Fear of Rejection
🎠A Day in the Life of The People Pleaser
I wake up thinking about who needs me, who might be upset with me, who I haven’t responded to. My day begins not with my own priorities, but with a silent scan of what others expect. My energy isn’t mine—it belongs to everyone else.
I say yes before I’ve even heard the full question. I give when I’m tired. I smile when I want to cry. I agree to things that don’t feel true. Why? Because I can’t bear the thought of someone being disappointed in me. I don’t want to lose connection. I don’t want to be seen as selfish.
Beneath my kindness is fear: the fear that if I stop pleasing, I’ll be rejected… abandoned… unloved. So I stay useful. I stay agreeable. I shape-shift into who they need me to be, and wonder why I feel invisible in my own life.
At night, I feel drained. Sometimes resentful. But I blame myself for that too. Maybe I just didn’t do enough today.
