Listen "The Sociology of People-Pleasing"
Episode Synopsis
We’re back with a new bonus episode on people-pleasing!This time, we’re looking at people-pleasing not as a personal flaw, but as a social behavior shaped by power, structure, and the need to belong. We’ll explore the sociology behind it — from Goffman’s dramaturgy to Asch’s conformity experiments — and unpack how gender roles, hierarchy, and cultural norms reinforce it. Plus, a few grounded points to help you recognize and start unlearning people-pleasing tendencies. *If the episode is too long, peep this song "People Pleaser" by Cat Burns-- It's not sociological but it is soulful.Want to sow into the vision of this podcast? click here
