Fawning Behavior Is Ancestral
Are you sacrificing yourself to keep others feeling comfortable?
If you’re a people-pleaser or you’ve ever experienced codependency — you’re not alone.
These patterns didn’t start with you. The root of these patterns is actually ancestral.
How?
Instead of looking only at recent generations, it’s important to look towards ancient times in our lineages. This goes back to the level of primal survival in our cavemen ancestors and in ancient times.
Let this sink in.
Our ancestors needed to fit into the village, or they would be shunned or ostracized.
During this ancient time, to be ostracized from the community that provided resources and protection literally meant death.
This ancient fear of death and desire for primal survival is still living in our nervous systems and can manifest as people-pleasing.
That explains why it can feel SO terrifying when someone disagrees with you. It can be scary to listen to your heart over the opinions of others or choose to do things differently than your family.

To be fully seen in your most authentic expression may feel scary because this is imprinted in your DNA from times when it wasn’t safe. This is why many of us turn to people-pleasing, which was our ancient ancestors’ survival mechanism of fitting in.
