I am interested in your answer to a question I have about “people-pleasers.” Do you think that “people-pleasers” forgive more readily and more deeply than the rest of humanity? I say this because of their high motivation as “people-pleasers” to make others happy.
The answer depends on the motivation inside of anyone who might be considered a “people-pleaser.” If the motivation is an appearance of mercy and generosity without really having such motivations inside, then the answer is no, they are not genuinely forgiving more readily or more deeply. Only if the superficial attributes of “people-pleasing” are gone and a true motivation to help the other is present will forgiveness be accurate. So, if by “people-pleasing” you mean a superficial or even an artificial appearance of forgiveness, then the answer is no, they likely are not forgiving more deeply than other people.
