over-accommodating
Too eager pleasing
Over-accommodating describes someone who goes too far in trying to please others or meet their needs, often at their own expense.
The term carries a mildly critical edge—suggesting that helpfulness has crossed into excessive deference or self-neglect: Her over-accommodating nature meant she never said no, even when she should have.
