ADHD, Autism & People Pleasing: How to Avoid Resentment

ADHD, Autism & People Pleasing: How to Avoid Resentment | People-Pleasing: Managing Resentment with ADHD & Autism

Did you know that people-pleasing and passivity are often linked to ADHD and autism? If you find yourself constantly putting others' needs ahead of your own, you may begin to feel resentment. When we prioritize others while neglecting our wants and needs, this can lead to emotional exhaustion and frustration.

In this video, I introduce a helpful concept I call the Resentment Line. This imaginary line helps you gauge when you've compromised too much or are on the verge of becoming resentful. Crossing this line means you've put someone else's needs above your own, so it's no longer healthy for you or your relationships.

Learning to self-assess and recognize when you're nearing this line is key to maintaining healthy boundaries. Are you feeling good about the arrangement, or are you starting to feel frustrated? Understanding where you stand can help you manage these emotions and prevent resentment from taking over.

By becoming more aware of your own wants and needs, and practicing healthy compromise, you can find balance in your relationships without falling into the trap of people-pleasing. Watch this video to learn how to recognize and stay below your own Resentment Line.
