Hello conversationalists! The purpose of this group is to spark interesting and thought-provoking conversations about life, love, and any other meaningful topics people want to discuss.
Everyone is welcome to join - no matter your background or how introverted/extroverted you are - as long as you want to have some thoughtful discussion around interesting topics.
Each meetup will be focused on having meaningful conversations. The theme for each meetup will change but the overall discussion will be structured to promote small group discussions where everyone's voice is heard. Afterwards, we will then come back together as a larger group to share out insights.
The goal is to tackle "meaty" topics but still create an inclusive and respectful atmosphere where everyone's thoughts are heard.
This group is not affiliated with any larger organization and is free to join.

Join us as we explore themes that touch on our lives, relationships, and personal growth. Our discussions invite you to reflect on personal experiences, share insights, and engage in meaningful conversations about what drives us, how we connect with others, and how we navigate life’s complexities. These events are designed to foster connection, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of the human experience.
In this discussion, we’ll explore the subtle differences between people-pleasing, approval-seeking, self-sacrifice, and generosity. While each of these behaviors involves giving to others, they are driven by different motivations. People-pleasing often stems from a desire to avoid conflict, approval-seeking is about gaining validation from others, and self-sacrifice involves putting others' needs before your own, sometimes at a personal cost. In contrast, generosity is a more balanced and selfless act, driven by a genuine desire to help without expecting anything in return. We’ll dive into how these behaviors affect our relationships and well-being, and how to navigate them in a healthy way.
- How do you personally define people-pleasing, approval-seeking, self-sacrifice, and generosity?
- Can you recall a time when you over-accommodated someone, and what motivated that behavior?
- In what ways do you think approval-seeking differs from genuinely wanting to be helpful?
- How do you balance self-sacrifice with maintaining your own well-being and boundaries?
- What do you think drives people to seek approval, and how does it impact their relationships?
- Can generosity ever become unhealthy, and if so, how can we recognize it?
- How do societal or cultural pressures influence over-accommodating or approval-seeking behavior?
- What role does self-awareness play in distinguishing between healthy generosity and self-sacrifice?
- How can we set boundaries to avoid falling into over-accommodating or approval-seeking patterns?
- How can someone transition from seeking approval to acting from a place of genuine generosity?
- How do you feel after engaging in each of these behaviors, and how does that affect your view of them?
These are just some of the questions we will discuss during our meetup. No preparation needed, just bring yourself and a willingness to listen and share your thoughts.
The meetup will be structured in a way to promote small group discussion so everyone has a chance to listen, be heard, and really dive into the discussion.
