A recent article suggests that the "all or nothing" mentality can ruin our mental health and hold us back from accomplishments. Experts explain why.

People-pleasing behaviors aren't necessarily helpful — for us or for the other person, according to a recent article. People-PleasingWe’re asked whether we feel anxious at the idea of making someone unhappy by not doing what they want? Maybe we push your preferences to the side and say “yes” to everything to avoid conflict? These are signs of people-pleasing. People-pleasing behaviors aren't necessarily helpful — for you or for the other person. Do we find ourselves saying yes to everything?
