Can being too nice weaken your body’s defences?
Chronic people-pleasing triggers persistent stress, causing immune system dysregulation and inflammation. This may increase autoimmune disease risk over time. Prioritising self-care and reducing chronic stress supports immune health and reduces long-term biological harm.
