Do we need people pleasing abilities? At least a little?
I quit people pleasing all together. I used to enjoy making others happy until it cost me too much. People used me up. Since I stopped, nobody wants anything to do with me anymore.

@GeistInTheMachine so that's just the end of relationships with other people in real life? I won't bleed out for them when they wouldn't piss down my throat if my neck was on fire? So that's it? 😂 It's not funny, but it kinda is.

@ScreamingFox After what I have been through, all that trauma for years, all the betrayal, it's tough to say. Sometimes I am emotionally unavailable. Other times I am guarded. Other times I long for something real but what is available and attainable? That's the question. I know I have to rely on myself and my goals. If someone wants to come along with me, good. If no one does, I will find who and what I need along the way. I am no longer playing the attachment game with folks.
Too many Treacherous rats! If that makes me bitter, I don't care. It's not about holding a grudge or being vengeful - it's about holding my own in a world on fire; which was set ablaze by the same sorts of narcs who persecuted me to begin with!
