Let's talk about masking versus people-pleasing because they often get lumped together.
2
And honestly, I get why.
3
They look almost identical from the outside.
4
Both of them involve shrinking yourself.
5
Both of them are exhausting.
6
Both of them leave you feeling like you can never quite relax.
7
But they come from different places.
8
And they need completely different things to get better.
9
Which is why it's vitally important that we figure out which one we're struggling with.
10
Today we're going to break down what people-pleasing and masking actually are.
11
why we confuse them, and most importantly, how to figure out which one is actually running the show for you.
12
So let's get into it.
13
People-pleasing is, at its core, a behavior pattern.
14
It's when you consistently prioritize other people's comfort, approval, or emotional state over your own.
15
This is usually done to avoid conflict, rejection, or the discomfort of someone being upset with you.
16
That's what does it for me.
17
And it's about what you do, like saying yes when you mean no, guilty, over apologizing, doubly guilty,
18
never having a strong opinion in case it upsets someone else, agreeing with things you don't actually agree with just to keep the peace.
19
It's driven by a fear of disapproval.
20
There's almost always a belief that if we stop managing how other people feel, something bad is going to happen.
21
Like we'll lose the relationship or they'll think we're selfish.
22
We'll be too much or not enough.
23
Something.
24
And the interesting thing about people pleasing is that it's usually pretty conscious.
25
You know, you're doing it.
26
Okay.
27
Now, when I was putting this together, I was like, you know, this is true.
28
Like I do know I'm doing it.
29
So hang with me.
30
Trust me.
31
It's more conscious than you realize because you're sitting there saying yes to something that you don't want to do.
32
Fully aware, you don't want to do it, right?
33
That's how it is for me.
34
And then I do it anyway, right?
35
We do it anyway.
36
And the awareness is uncomfortable to say the least, but it also means that there's a part of you that's still in contact with what you actually want.
37
That part isn't gone.
38
And that's great news.
39
A good example of people pleasing, because for some people, they, you know, aren't really sure what it looks like if they don't struggle with it like I do,
40
is imagine a friend texts you and asks if you can pick them up from the airport.
41
It's a two-hour round trip.
42
You've had a long week.
43
You were planning to spend that evening resting, watching your favorite show.
44
But the moment you see the text, you know you don't want to do it.
45
Might not even reply right away, right?
46
You know you don't want to go get them.
47
But instead of saying, I'm sorry, I can't this time, I've had a long week or whatever, you immediately start thinking about how disappointed they might be,
48
whether they'll think that you're selfish or whether you're letting them down.
49
So you say yes.
50
Then the entire drive there, you're frustrated, exhausted, and wondering why you agreed to do this in the first place.
51
That is people-pleasing.
52
Most of the time, people-pleasing is learned in environments where emotional safety was conditional.
53
You figured out early on that keeping other people comfortable kept you safe.
54
Maybe the house was calmer when you didn't make waves.
55
Maybe love felt like it had to be earned by being easy, agreeable, or low maintenance.
56
Now my personal example is that I people-please because no one ever fought in my home growing up.
57
So I did not fight and repair.
58
Therefore, conflict felt super scary and dangerous.
59
And I would people-please just to ensure that no one got angry or upset.
60
And I just wanted to share like my side just in case
61
that first example didn't resonate because mine's kind of like this weird outlier.
62
And so if you happen to be in that side, maybe you grew up in a waspy family too that didn't fight.
63
So that could be why as well.
64
Let's move into masking.
65
Masking is when you suppress or hide who you actually are, like your traits, your way of processing your reactions,
66
your needs, in order to appear more normal or acceptable to the people around you.
67
Where people pleasing is about what you do, masking is about who you are.
68
Masking often happens automatically, usually below the level of conscious choice.
69
You don't sit there and decide to mask like, oh, time to mask.
70
Your nervous system kind of does it for you, often before you even realize that anything is happening.
71
And you've probably heard masking talked about mostly in the context of autism or ADHD.
72
And that's because autistic and ADHD folks are disproportionately affected, especially women and people who weren't diagnosed until much later in their life.
73
But masking happens in anyone who has learned at some point that their authentic self wasn't safe or welcome.
74
People who grew up in emotionally unsafe homes, people who belong to groups that have been told their natural way of being is wrong,
75
people with anxiety, people with trauma histories.
76
But you don't even need a diagnosis for this to be relevant to you, and it's actually more common than we realize.
77
The exhaustion from masking is also different from people pleasing exhaustion.
78
And in my opinion, this is one of the clearest ways to tell them apart because people pleasing wears you out.
79
Trust me, I know.
80
But masking like hollows you out.
81
It's not just tired.
82
It's that sustained grinding effort of performing for so long that you genuinely lose track of what you actually think or feel.
83
It's like the performance becomes the default.
84
And as an example, because some of us like to learn through stories, not just being told, right?
85
Let's say you're in a social situation and someone makes a joke that you don't think is funny.
86
Everyone around you laughs, so you laugh too.
87
Someone asks you what you did over the weekend
88
and you give an answer that you think sounds normal instead of the one that's true.
89
Because maybe you spent all weekend like hyper fixated on something.
90
A conversation turns towards a topic that you care about, but you hold back your real opinion because you don't want anyone to think
91
that you're like weird or awkward or too much.
92
And by the end of the night, let's say we've been hanging out with people all day.
93
We've been talking to them and doing these things.
94
By the end of the night, you spent hours monitoring yourself.
95
What do you say?
96
How do you react?
97
What your face looks like?
98
Whether you're fitting in.
99
And later you're lying in bed exhausted
100
and you realize you can't even remember a single moment from the whole day
101
and evening where you actually responded the way that you innately wanted to.
102
Every reaction was filtered.
103
Every word felt edited before you even said it.
104
And you don't even know what you even think anymore.
105
The tricky part about masking and people pleasing is that they often happen at the same time.
106
Someone who's been masking their traits for years often like picks up people pleasing on top of it
107
because they've had to work so hard to fit in
108
that managing everyone's approval starts to feel like part of the same survival strategy.
109
And it totally makes sense because both of them produce the same social result.
110
You look easy to be around.
111
I mean, you are easy to be around, right?
112
but both involve not being fully yourself around other people.
113
Both create a kind of false social self that takes over in certain situations.
114
Both lead to exhaustion, resentment, and that slow like disconnection from yourself.
115
And from the outside, both can look like being low maintenance or so easy to get along with, which gets reinforced.
116
Like I feel that for a long time, I took pride in the fact that I was so easygoing.
117
Oh, she's up for anything.
118
Like just that I wanted to fit in, right?
119
And then that feels good because the people around you like that version of you, which makes it even harder to stop.
120
But the root of these two things are different.
121
People-pleasing is I'm changing what I do to manage how you feel about me.
122
Masking is I'm changing who I am because who I am isn't acceptable.
123
One is strategy or management.
124
The other is like a survival response, always tied to some form of shame.
125
Here's another example to help you tease it out even more.
126
Let's say two friends are at a party.
127
Both are uncomfortable.
128
Friend A is chatting, laughing, agreeing with things she doesn't actually agree with.
129
She's doing it because she doesn't want anyone to think she's difficult.
130
That's me.
131
That's people pleasing.
132
friend b is also chatting and laughing but she's doing it
133
because she spent years learning
134
that the way she naturally moves through conversations the way she processes things a little slower
135
or gets really intense about topics
136
that she loves gets her labeled as weird she's not managing anyone's feelings she's like performing
137
so that she looks like a version of herself
138
that she learned over time was acceptable from the outside at that party right they can look identical
139
but inside very different causes and goals.
140
I've talked about my struggle with people pleasing for years and unfortunately I still say sorry too much.
141
I still consider other people's thoughts and feelings before my own.
142
Sometimes before I've even registered what I actually want.
143
I know.
144
I hate it.
145
It happens.
146
I'm stuck in it sometimes and sometimes I still struggle to take up space.
147
I still apologize for like sharing an aisle with someone at the grocery store
148
and trust me I'm working on it all the time, recognizing when I do it and I'm trying not to do it next time.
149
But when I was putting this video together, I had to take a minute because some of the things that I do sound a lot like masking.
150
Like when I'm going into work mode, like I'm about to go give a keynote speech or something, I do like get it up for people.
151
Like I perform, right?
152
Hype myself up.
153
I try to bring the energy and I want to make sure everyone around me feels good and engaged.
154
and when I come home from certain social situations my battery can be completely dead
155
and I can feel like exhausted to my bones I've even pushed through sometimes at parties
156
when my body was done like where someone's talking to me
157
and I know I'm spent but I can't like get out of the conversation yet
158
so I just pretend I'm okay and I try to look like it too
159
and like act engaged and so when I was putting this video together
160
and even the autism video I had to ask myself like is this masking?
161
Because it sounds like it could be in some ways, but then not in others.
162
And after really considering it, so I took some time, you guys, the honest answer is it's not masking.
163
Probably not.
164
At least not in like the deeper sense, because I do know exactly who I am when I stop performing and I know what I want.
165
That's not hard for me to pull from.
166
The issue is that I override it to manage how other people feel.
167
like I said I want to bring the energy
168
so everyone around me feels good and engaged that's people pleasing behavior
169
but I just wanted to bring this up
170
because I even had to take a minute so
171
if you're confused that's okay it I feel like this can be confusing
172
which is honestly why we're talking about it right now
173
and in my video from like two or so weeks ago
174
when I talked about autism in that video I also talked about stimming
175
and while I was putting
176
that together I realized I do some of those things like I eat the same thing for lunch almost every day
177
I twirl my hair.
178
If you've seen me in person, you know, I love to twirl.
179
I rewatch comfort shows over and over.
180
Hello, Sex and City, Gilmore Girls, right?
181
But I don't have autism.
182
And I bring that up because that's kind of the entire point of this video is
183
that we have to really consider our behaviors and where they come from.
184
Just having a few symptoms of something doesn't mean we have the full diagnosis, which is why getting a proper assessment from a professional is the best thing
185
that we can do if we think we have autism or ADHD or anything else for that matter, okay?
186
If you still aren't sure which one is affecting you most, grab something to write with because I've got some questions that I want you to consider, okay?
187
And also I just want to remind you that you can have both masking and people pleasing happening at the same time.
188
We can do both.
189
We're great multitaskers, okay?
190
But it's not about picking a label.
191
It's what my goal is for you to understand more where it comes from, like Like what's the root of it?
192
Because if we want to change our behavior, we have to first understand what's driving it, okay?
193
Into the questions.
194
And my first one is when I do something for someone, okay, when you're doing something for someone,
195
am I aware of wanting their approval or of wanting to avoid their disappointment?
196
Next, can I identify specific fears driving my choices?
197
Like fear of rejection, fear of conflict, fear of being seen as selfish or difficult.
198
And the last one here, do I actually know what I want in a situation, but override it anyways to keep someone else comfortable?
199
Take a minute to consider.
200
I'm not sure if this would surprise you or not, but all of those questions pointed to people pleasing.
201
Next, we have questions that point toward masking, okay?
202
Not to give anything up, but I feel like it's just good to know what you're thinking about, right?
203
First up, do I feel exhausted after most social interactions even the ones
204
that went fine
205
so they're easy quote unquote easy still feel exhausted next have I ever come home from being around people
206
and felt like I couldn't access myself like who am I
207
like you need hours alone just to remember what you actually think do I genuinely not know what I want
208
or feel in a lot of situations not because I'm suppressing it, but because I can't seem to reach it at all.
209
Think about it.
210
And finally, do I feel most like myself in very specific safe circumstances and really different everywhere else?
211
Take some time to consider those questions
212
because it can tell you a lot about whether you're dealing with masking or people pleasing or both.
213
And if that's still not clear, imagine a situation where you have full permission to be exactly yourself.
214
No one's going to judge you.
215
No one needs anything from you.
216
Whatever you do is fine.
217
If that scenario brings up relief, you have a pretty clear sense of like what you want to say or do what you want.
218
That points us slightly towards people pleasing because honestly, that's me a hundred percent.
219
Like if I got to do whatever I wanted, nobody needed anything from me.
220
I'd be like, oh, amazing.
221
Like the thought of just being on vacation in a hotel where no one needs anything for me.
222
I don't have to do anything.
223
There's no like to do's on my list.
224
Sweet Jesus.
225
That's the dream, right?
226
So know that that's more people pleasing.
227
Okay.
228
You know who you are.
229
You've just been hiding it.
230
If that same scenario brings up confusion or anxiety,
231
like if you genuinely don't know what being yourself would even look like, or if the question even makes you feel kind of lost.
232
Like, what would I do?
233
I don't know.
234
That's really hard.
235
I haven't thought about it.
236
If it feels that way, like you're kind of like, I don't really know how to give you an answer or even just within your own mind.
237
You're like, I can't even imagine what that would really look like.
238
I guess just being home, like we kind of just default to like something low lift that points toward masking.
239
And like I said, both can be true.
240
A lot of people have layers to it, masking like underneath of people pleasing that's been built on top of it.
241
because if you grew up having to hide who you were, you probably also learned to manage other people's feelings as a part of staying safe.
242
So know that you don't have to choose one answer if you feel like both apply to you.
243
Since it's common to feel like you're masking and people pleasing, you might even wonder, Katie, why do I even need to know the difference?
244
But that's actually why I wanted to make this video, okay?
245
Because the work that you do on these two things is pretty different.
246
for people pleasing doing the work is going to look like
247
learning to tolerate the discomfort of just disappointing people i know
248
or even the possibility of disappointing them because i don't even like to think
249
that like i could possibly do it means like saying no
250
without giving a ted talk about it it can also mean
251
getting comfortable taking up space being in the aisle at the grocery store and not saying sorry for being there.
252
Having an opinion and doing things simply because you want to.
253
Remember I told you guys I did that artist way workbook.
254
And one of the things was take myself on an artist date every week, do something just because I wanted to.
255
That's it.
256
And I really had a tough time.
257
So that's part of the work.
258
And I know it's uncomfortable.
259
Trust me.
260
I'm right there with you fighting along the way.
261
And so the goal of this work with people pleasing isn't to feel good about it.
262
I mean, that might come along the way, but the goal is to actually feel the discomfort and still not let your people-pleasing urge make every decision for you.
263
This can mean setting healthy boundaries, right?
264
We love boundaries.
265
They're hard to set.
266
Figuring out what you like and don't like, and then actually advocating for those things.
267
It could mean like pausing before you automatically say yes and asking yourself for a second, what do I want?
268
What do I have time for?
269
Or what do I have energy to do?
270
Right?
271
Before considering what everyone else wants.
272
That's been huge for me.
273
And as you do this work, you'll probably start noticing the fears underneath that people pleasing.
274
At least I did.
275
Like maybe you're afraid someone's going to be upset with you.
276
Maybe you're worried that they'll think that you're selfish.
277
Maybe you learned somewhere along the way that being liked is the same thing as being safe.
278
That's why it's important to get curious.
279
What would it mean if one person didn't like you?
280
What would that mean?
281
What story does your mind automatically tell you about that?
282
What belief do you have about disappointing people?
283
And where did that belief come from?
284
Because people pleasing isn't really about being nice.
285
It's not actually about pleasing anyone.
286
It's often about managing other people's reactions so that we can like avoid our own anxiety or we can feel okay.
287
And the more we understand what's driving it, the easier it becomes to make choices based on what we
288
actually need instead of what we think will keep everyone else happy.
289
For masking, the work looks a little bit different.
290
The first step is actually unmasking in like small manageable ways.
291
So if you've been masking for years or even decades, trying to stop overnight can feel overwhelming and rightfully so.
292
So the goal isn't to suddenly tell everyone exactly what you think or become a completely different person.
293
That would be dysregulating, right?
294
The goal is to start letting the real you show up in little safe moments.
295
Like maybe it means admitting, I don't like that movie, but everybody else loves it, right?
296
You're like, maybe it means wearing the clothes
297
that actually like make you feel comfortable instead of the ones that you think you're supposed to wear, like what's trending maybe.
298
Or maybe it means saying, I just need some time alone tonight.
299
I've been feeling overwhelmed this week.
300
Instead of forcing yourself to socialize when you're exhausted.
301
It might even mean being honest with something and being like, I can't be in your house because the overhead light, can we turn on a lamp?
302
We might just want to tell them that.
303
So we can like be honest in small ways.
304
It can help us not only improve our relationships, but it can also help rebuild trust with yourself.
305
and it can also help to get curious remember curious not judgmental about who you really are
306
when you're not performing
307
if you spent years adjusting yourself to fit what other people
308
wanted you may not have a clear sense of what you like
309
or what you value or what you even want
310
and that's okay you're not supposed to have all the answers
311
right away ask yourself some simple questions like what do I enjoy
312
when nobody's watching or what do I think I would enjoy right we just get curious.
313
What opinions am I always holding back?
314
What would I do with my time if I wasn't worried about, you know, disappointing anyone or looking weird?
315
This is why I often encourage people to spend intentional time alone.
316
Take yourself out for coffee.
317
Go for a walk without a podcast.
318
Don't put no earbuds.
319
Have an evening where you just don't have anything.
320
Don't have to like be anything for anyone, right?
321
Just get to be yourself.
322
Give yourself opportunities to hear your own thoughts again.
323
And finally, I feel like it's important to talk about the fact
324
that there can be some grief that comes along with this.
325
Many people discover that underneath the mask is sadness for all the years that they've spent performing, adapting, and trying to earn acceptance.
326
We can realize how much energy went into being who we thought we needed to be instead of who we actually were.
327
And if you feel that grief, it's not a sign you're doing anything wrong.
328
It's often a sign that you're reconnecting with yourself.
329
So give yourself permission to feel it.
330
It's okay.
331
Grief is common in our life.
332
There's a lot of things we can grieve.
333
I know we often talk about grief when it comes to death, but there can be like different deaths of self, like old version of me that I'm letting go of.
334
Or as I am more honest and more myself, when I've stopped people pleasing in some relationships, those relationships have been lost and that can be really hard, right?
335
And so that sadness isn't getting in the way of our healing process.
336
It actually kind of is part of it.
337
And knowing the difference between masking and people pleasing is important because if you treat masking like it's people pleasing,
338
you'll keep setting boundaries with people in your life while still not knowing who you are, still performing every day.
339
Even the setting of the boundaries could feel like a performance.
340
Like I'm doing this thing just the way I'm supposed to, right?
341
Something like will still feel off, even when you're making progress on the people-pleasing side of things.
342
And if you treat people-pleasing like it's masking, then you're going to go out looking for your true self
343
that you've like lost access to when what you actually need is to work on tolerating disapproval or potential conflict.
344
And those are just very different kinds of work.
345
I hope you can see that.
346
That's why I wanted to kind of tease that out.
347
Because masking and people pleasing are both incredibly common, and they can even exist at the same time.
348
They look similar from the outside.
349
They both leave you feeling like you can never quite relax and that you just want to fit in, but they're not the same thing.
350
People pleasing is a behavioral pattern built on a fear of, you know, conflict and disapproval.
351
You know who you are.
352
You're just hiding it so that people will be happy and like you.
353
masking is a deeper suppression of identity often automatic
354
that over time erodes your sense of self we can even mask for
355
so long that we don't even know what we like
356
or don't like anymore the good news is
357
that both are survivable both can get better
358
but they respond to different things and the more clearly you can see
359
which one you're dealing with the more targeted
360
and effective your therapeutic work can be and if any of this resonated or felt like something you're struggling with right now, please reach out to a therapist or psychologist so that you can get a proper assessment.
361
One or two traits that resonate don't tell the full story.
362
And that full picture is what matters.
363
I talked about some of that in my most recent autism video.
364
And so I'll link it here if you want to check that out.

And if you're someone who has wondered about any of this stuff for yourself, that video is really, I feel like it's a good companion to this one.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
