I Am a People Pleaser

All my decisions in life have been taken on the basis of a single line of thought "I don't wanna hurt X", OR "I don't wanna hurt Y" OR "I don't wanna hurt Z". Not for a single instance have I stopped to consider how I might feel about a certain decision. When it comes to conflicting interests, I try to go for the solution that hurts the minimum number of people or one that causes the minimum amount of sadness to people, regardless of what it does to me. I have been a people pleaser for so long that I don't know what makes me happy anymore! Lol

I was the same way for 30 years of my life. You better STOP that way of living now, because I promise you will wake up one day and realize you essentially wasted so much time living for other people (and I guarantee they wouldn't do the same for you).

@DearAmbellina2113 I’m glad to hear that you woke up and are being real to yourself.

@DearAmbellina2113 I went through the same vein. Probably the same length of time too. And yeah it's super destructive on you individually. Everyone else will just keep on taking advantage of it.
