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.

We need to show, courtesy and basic respect,in my opinion.
Basic respect is not bending over backwards or walking on eggshells it's just treating people like a human being that you don't automatically treat with disdain,ridicule, or anger.
I think being kind, helping others, and being pleasant makes the world more tolerable to live in.
Not everybody is going to do that,I get that.
But, a tooth for a tooth and and eye for eye makes for a chaotic unpleasant world to live in.
When people treat you bad,you then know who not to trust, no need to stoop down, just take notes and avoid,be neutral with them if you have to interact with them.
If not then let them go, they are not a friend nor an asset to you.
