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.

Just be who you are, love. Do what you feel in your own heart is right. But don't build that wall so high that the true ones can't climb over it.
@Tumbleweed I'm struggling to find a balance. It pains me to bring my walls down. I'm too tender inside.

And I think I'm mixed up inside about what is a healthy amount of myself to give. I'm passionate and caring to my detriment. Something in me needs repair.

@ScreamingFox You are exactly like me, trust me, I absolutely feel everything you just said.

@ScreamingFox the only way I find balance is to say & do & be exactly who & what I am and, yes, I've had to defend myself and yes, I've had to apologize a few times but I trust my gut to tell me when enough is enough from me...
@Tumbleweed thank you 🖤
