Character traits such as excessive agreeableness, flattery and a tendency to feel guilty can harm the mental health of their owner, said San Francisco psychologist Julie Fraga. In this respect reports Daily mail.
The doctor said people with such character traits often try to help others at the expense of their own well-being. They are very accommodating and almost never refuse help. The truth is that the thought of the discomfort the requester might experience due to rejection seems unbearable to sycophantic people. This behavior can trigger the onset of mental illnesses such as anxiety disorder.
People who tend to constantly feel a sense of guilt almost never engage in conflicts in defense of their own interests. They often do more work than their responsibilities require or pay for goods and services to friends and acquaintances. Such decisions later cause the person to regret it strongly, which aggravates his mental state.
The psychologist explained that the obsessive desire to please others (sociotropy) is associated with the desire to compensate for failures in certain areas of life. The doctor recommends finding out exactly what events led to such a psycho-emotional state. Additionally, overly accommodating and sycophantic people need to learn to be more compassionate towards themselves.
