People Pleasers and Munchausen by Proxy: A Disturbing Connection

New full length video out today!

People-pleasing might seem like kindness, but what if it’s actually control in disguise?

In this video, I explore a confronting comparison between people-pleasing and the psychological disorder Munchausen by proxy — where someone keeps others "sick" to feel needed. You’ll learn how Nice Guys and people pleasers often unknowingly sabotage others’ growth while convincing themselves they’re doing good. I unpack the darker truths behind helping others to feel appreciated, keeping the peace to avoid discomfort, and giving advice to control behavior.

Most “nice” behavior isn’t selfless — it’s driven by fear, insecurity, and a desperate need to feel indispensable.

If you’ve ever wondered why your support doesn’t seem to actually help others long term… this video might hold a mirror up you didn’t know you needed.

This isn’t a feel-good pep talk — it’s a raw, honest challenge to rethink your motives and step into real integrity.

👉 Comment below: Have you ever recognized this pattern in yourself or others — helping to feel needed rather than to truly serve? What was your wake-up moment? Let’s open up the discussion.
