oh man oh man the past few months have been months of Real Boundary Setting for me for the first time, and this is bringing up so many red flags that I wouldn't have seen before
This is incredible, thanks for sharing. I've literally just started therapy for the first time, and one of the big reasons is that I'm a people pleaser. I find it extremely difficult to ask for my needs to be met or to disappoint someone who interacts with me. It's, as an understatement, a bummer. I will try and remember your flow chart. Thank you.
Please follow up with a part two. I am ADHD and have a lot of crossover with autism, and I'm in my first long term relationship, so setting boundaries is reeeaaaaally hard and makes me feel like an Unsupportive Partner or Too Selfish, and I really struggle with it.
Thank you for so generously sharing this with us! Very very helpful. And yes I'd love a follow-up on how you are getting comfortable with other people’s disappointment

Perpetual people-pleaser checking in! I'm just starting therapy now to address how it manifests in my personal relationships (spoiler: not great!)
Your flowchart was so interesting. Would love to hear more about your journey to overcoming this shared 'addiction'!

Well-spake, and I'm in my late 70s and am happy to share incidendences over the past 45 year
