Body Language – AG Barr And Horowitz IG Report

Let me give a little more clarity. “YES” women, but you see it more in men, generally have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which is a neurological disorder that causes a range of behavioral problems or issues such as difficulty attending to instruction, focusing on schoolwork, keeping up with assignments, following instructions, completing tasks and social interaction. I don’t know Mr Horowitz, never met him, and I can only make a judgement on the few appearances he has made in his testimony in these Congressional hearings. You NAILED it, Mandy. “YES” men is just an euphemism for a people pleaser, and for someone who has ADD’er, they are always looking for a way to sustain that positivity. I suspect that Mr Horowitz doesn’t like going before these congressional hearings, but knows its part of his job, he is a social people pleaser and that’s where his stress comes from. One of his biggest conflicts comes from the word “spying.” Surveillance seems more people pleasing and there is a negative and a harsher component to the word spying.

For many, the eagerness to please comes from a place of self-worth issues. They hope that saying yes to everything asked of them will help them feel accepted, liked and appreciated. Other people-pleasers have a history of maltreatment, and somewhere along the way, they decided that their best hope for better treatment was to try to please the people who mistreated them. Over time, people-pleasing became a way of life. But they view saying “NO” that they are letting other people down or disappointing them. There’s nothing wrong with people pleasing. It’s good that you want to help others and satisfy their needs. But you need to know when to stop. You have to be aware of your intention. It’s coming from a place of abundance or a place that is lacking. Never dwell on what people think about your decision. Chances are they’ve moved on before you have. Fixating on your answer will cause you to stress and worry too much. Let it go. In the end, trying to please and/or accommodate others needs before your own, you end up pleasing no one. Jimmy Carter was a people pleaser, so wanting to be liked by everyone, that came from a place of compassion. But in the end, he ended up pleasing no one and was a one term President because of that need to please. I think Nancy Pelosi to some extent, by trying to please “her caucus” we are being subjected to the circus, but she also uses fear to intimidate and bullying others.

Then, there are some very famous people who surrounded themselves with people pleasers. The Clinton’s, Obama, Frank Sinatra, Jackie Gleason, General Douglas MacArthur, Adolf Hitler and pretty much every dictator, Lyndon B. Johnson. Okay, the more powerful a historical figure is, the larger their “court” of jesters, and more people willing and able to be “yes men” it seems, and the more reasons for people to pander to them. I think it’s a phenomenon that transcends culture, ideology or system of government, and that is just not reserved to history. They tell you what you want to hear.
