There are any number of men who have this problem, too. But when you say who's more likely (to say yes), it's more likely to be women.

When you have the people-pleasing habit, it feels as if you have no control and no power over your life. Everybody else is running it. The PTA. The church. Your children. Your husband. Everyone's taking a little piece of you all the time. You leave no time for yourself.

You become aware of people's feelings. You don't want someone to think you don't care. You don't want someone to think you're lazy.
