Condescendiente / Exageradamente condescendiente/ patológicamente condescendiente


Explanation:
Patológicamente condescendiente.(???)

Here we meet a problem. Because while in spanish we can say "agradar a la gente" ( please people) we do not have an adjective or adverb to express the same.

A people pleaser could be a "persona condescendiente" or perhaps excesivamente condescendiente or "patológicamente condescendiente".

Since you have the entire text before you, you are in a much better position to decide.

Regards,

BSD
