Idk, I don’t think that’s a very fair experiment. Some people are just good natured and don’t mind participating in certain activities. On the other hand some people are indeed people pleasers with low boundaries. This method of evaluating whether someone is “living in their truth” or not doesn’t seem very effective.

lmao... this man has some of the worst experiments but his overall deductions are on point.

What if I like doing push ups?.. I don't mind doing things within reason. It's not a people-pleasing thing, it'a moreso a "Yeah, sure. Why not?" However, I don't have a problem saying no if I truly don't want to.

So if someone ask me to hand them a free water bottle at a retreat then they can’t trust me? Checks out.

Professional psychologists, worth their salt, would have a field day with such a limited assessment.

What if just wanted to have fun and do a push up?

[lizardltd]

I'm very much a people pleaser, and there's no resentment there. The thing I enjoy the most is seeing my friends happy, so sometimes I'm willing for it to come at a little bit of my expense. Don't know if that's what you're talking about... Anyway, hope my friends trust me

Goodness, famous people must have a rough time of it not trusting most people because you probably get yes alot, if not than most of the time 😂😂😂

[adhdessentials]

I would totally do a push up in the moment if asked to, because my truth is that push ups are fun. This is silly.

I mean, sure we should be able to say no. But saying yes doesn’t make you untrustworthy.

[sir_fancy_exe]

That's just absurd. You can't evaluate someone's trust based on something so arbitrary. This is just pseudo psychology. It needs to be better critically thought thoroughly.

[BlackOut]

I see the overall point but this is just gibberish. It is entirely normal, well-adjusted human behaviour to be happy to do simple tasks for someone without question or inexplicable disagreement. If your answer to the request "could you pass the salt" is "stop ordering me around", I'm trusting you less because you're clearly a sociopath

And if you can manipulate them, they are also being manipulated by others.
