Understanding the Crowd-Pleaser’s Anxiety

A Crowd-Pleaser’s sense of self-worth is directly tied to the positive attention they receive from their community. Status, admiration, prestige—these are the Crowd-Pleaser’s crown jewels. When these are threatened, the Crowd-Pleaser’s anxiety comes out in full force, and they can think of little else.

‌‌‌‌

Crowd-Pleaser anxiety is triggered by:

Losing social standing (or the threat of it): This can come from scandal, like Carly’s cheating accusation, or from loss of beauty, money, status symbols, position, etc.

Feeling left behind:They are strongly identified with a sense of belonging and keeping up with their perceived status. In order for Carly to “keep up,” she needed to attend an Ivy League school.

Feeling Lonely: The prospect of being left out or missing out (FOMO!) ignites the Crowd-Pleaser's anxiety. Alice and Carly went to great lengths to maintain their position “in their crowd.”

Being left out: especially of something they were expecting to be included in or invited to, can easily send Crowd-Pleasers into a tailspin.
