It’s normal to want to be liked and accepted. But taken too far,you could become a people-pleaser.
People pleasing can become achronic habit that is tough to break. You might say “yes” to things you don’t want to do to prevent someone from getting angry. Or, you might say what you think people want to hear so that you’ll fit in with those around you.
If you’ve been a lifelong people-pleaser, it’s tough to stand up for yourself and express your true opinions.
But, it’s important to do so. Being able to be yourself is key to good mental health. It may also be key to helping you reach your goals. Fortunately, you can start with one small step at a time.
In this episode, I share how you can start to break free from people-pleasing habits. I explain why people become people-pleasers, the downsides of trying to make people happy, and the steps you can take to start taking care of your own needs.
