Let’s be real; being a people pleaser is exhausting.
But that’s just scratching the surface. When you’re a people pleaser, you
can lose your sense of identity; experience stress and anxiety; or even
miss out on authentic relationships. Make no mistake, this is not the same as being
kind. Kindness is genuine and intentional, while people pleasing prioritises
external validation over self-respect. If you’re wondering whether or not you’re a
people pleaser, look for these four signs. 1. You a
gree with everything and everyone,
even if you don’t really mean it. 2. You apologise for things that are
not your fault or responsibility. 3. You avoid conflict or
confrontation at all costs, even if it means compromising your integrity. 4. You feel guilty or resentful when you do
something for yourself or say no to someone. You see, the satisfaction you get from
people liking you is not sustainable. You want to feel content even if they don’t.
