Psychology
English term or phrase: people-pleaser
"a benign and uncontentious person who is indifferent to matters of principle; one who tries never to offend anybody"

the meaning is clear but the term is supposed to be used in a heading/title so it requires a nest and short equivalent

thanks in advance for some suggestions

pochlebca


Explanation:
Pomyślałam najpierw o "podlizuchu", co byłoby bardziej kolokwialną opcją, ale jeśli to nagłówek, to może być zbyt kolokwialnie.

Example sentence(s):
  • Przyjaciel pochlebca nie jest już przyjacielem i należy mieć się przed nim na baczności.

Asker: I like this one and its hard to dispute with the specialized article but the context is religious in nature so the client might not accept this particular word in Polish as it might bring about some unwanted connotations :)
