Who is a People Pleaser?

People Pleaser are people who are basically nice people but their aim is to spread happiness without caring for their own. However, after doing this for a very long time and not getting anything in return they tend to tire themselves and loose control of their happiness. Are you one of them? If yes, take these steps to turn around your personality trait.

Stop

Stop

Just stop right away. Remember the times you have said yes, when you really wanted to say no. Sometimes compromising on your own happiness, time, emotions, etc just to please someone.

Take your time

Take your time

If someone asks for a favor, take time to think and check your schedule before saying a yes. Helping is important but not at the cost of losing something bigger. Don’t be rude but learn to say NO.

Be Fair

Be Fair

Ask yourself if you are being fair to everyone. You are an individual with various responsibilities and its your moral duty to fulfill them. We cant let pleasing one person impact everything else.

Don’t Over Apologize

Don’t Over Apologize

If you cant make a commitment or have to say a no then simply Apologize by saying "I would love to do this but I am sorry" Don't keep someone hanging and then over apologize later.

Start Small

Start Small

Limit your availability to help and set a time limit. This does not mean being very rigid with the timings but you have to manage other things as well. Giving some time to your own self is also as important.

Forget the Fear

Forget the Fear

The biggest problem for not being able to get rid of the people pleaser trait is because we don’t want the other person to get angry at us or break away. If they cant understand even occasionally then you should not be surrounding yourself with them.

Ask for Help
8/8

Ask for Help

When it gets too much to handle and you are unable to move out of that zone then ask for help or discuss it with someone close. This is not a sign of weakness but of a confident and assertive person who trusts others.
