It is sometimes a hard personality because you don’t want to disappoint others thats why you are still keep doing this even though you are fully aware what you are really doing to others and to yourself.

Learning to step away from people pleasing is challenging, but choosing yourself is a powerful and necessary act of growth.

Some people are naturally too nice and it does not fare well for them. I think just like with everything, moderation has to be key (and self-peace). 🙂

I have a friend who is a people-pleaser, and now that I read this, I realized how much he’s sacrificing for no reason. Thanks for sharing this.

As a people pleaser myself you need to push to get out of that habit. It isn’t easy as it is what you are used to but you need to learn to recognise that some will try to manipulate you when they realise. I feel for your friend as this really can be come both physically and emotionally exhausting. It can also result in the development of autoimmune conditions!!! Saying no is a biggie – they need to learn to do it and also stand their ground. I hope they can do that sooner rather than later x

This really resonated with me. You explained the emotional side of people pleasing so clearly and thoughtfully, it gives a lot to reflect on.

Learning to stop people pleasing feels brave. I’m practising saying no gently, noticing my own needs, and trusting that healthy relationships won’t crumble when I choose myself sometimes these days.

This really hits home for me. I’m a recovering people-pleaser, and trying to make eveyrone happy really does take over your life.

This is very interesting. I found it fascinating to read through — it seems like there is a fine line between people-pleasing and kindness. I have often felt taken advantage of in life for being kind, but there’s also the part where I want to please people. There is a little bit of both mixed in there. It is terrible when children think they have to prove worth!
