People pleasers are all over. Problem is that some of them do not even realize it. Wait a minute, you are probably reading this and you are actually one of those people who try too hard to be liked.
Mmhmm, any who, keep reading to discover if you are a people pleaser. If you possess the below traits, you honestly need to stop trying too hard to please the world. Not even Jesus could do it remember?
1. You feel like no one returns the favor
You go out of your way to be there for your friends and family yet no one seems to notice it. Or when you really need them, they are nowhere to be seen. That only means you are doing more than necessary just to please people who don’t care as much as you do.
2. You find it difficult to say ‘no’
Are you ever saying ‘yes’ to invitations even when you are not in the mood? The only reason you are accepting is that you somehow can’t stand to disappoint others. But how about your own happiness?
3. You compromise your values
A night out drinking and partying is not your thing. But you don’t mind having two beers for the sake of your friends. As long as they are happy, it’s all that matters.
4. You act like you are never hurt
Even though people hurt you, you can’t say it. Because saying it will not make them happy or you feel like they will stop liking you if you reveal your genuine emotions.
5. You over complement others
Giving compliments even when unnecessary just to please people is an indicator that you are trying too hard to be liked.
6. You stand bullsh*t
You keep on telling yourself that it is okay even when it’s not. You stand it when people are unkind to you just because you feel like it’s your duty to be nice always.
