Guilty Of Being A People Pleaser

I’ve been doing some self evaluation of myself today and noticed I’ve been a people people my entire life. I always do a lot for everybody when they ask but I never get the same in return. Realization is the first step and now I’m learning to change that by learning how to say no or I’ll have to check my schedule. I think this condition happened from my childhood when my mom didn’t value me too much of my needs or wants and more of what she wants out of me. If I wanted something, she would tell me I’m wrong and yell at me about it nonstop to the point I didn’t want to hear about it. At least I realize now what my problem is and I need to help myself. It’s not too late. :) I’m sure there are others out there like me. Learn how to say no.

    Lots of people, are people pleasers, and/or Looking - good people - people whos motivation is do things that "look good" - like living for a resume…
    I am a bit of both, and am working on recognizing the places I do either, trying to remove those motivations from my life. On the otherhand - I am keeping in mind that I do enjoy people, and doing things for other people, so I am trying not to bite of my nose to spite my face, so to speak.
