10 Confessions Of A People Pleaser We Politely Ask You To Learn

In This Article:

You have at least one person in your life that is a people pleaser. They tend to go out of their way to make other people feel better and don't pay as much attention to themselves. Well now is the time to find out some thoughts that your people-pleasing friends have been urging to tell you.

1. We don’t actually want to do what you asked us to do

giphy

We just don't know how to say no without making you feel like crap.

2. We HATE conflict

giphy

We will probably back down in a conversation so it does escalate into an argument. It is also super stressful being the friend to try to keep the peace and keep everyone happy.

3. We may seem perfect, but we are far from it

giphy

Sometimes it seems like we have our whole life together, but we don't.

4. Our siblings are usually jealous of us

giphy

Moms always love the people pleaser! Our siblings may say they don't care, but they secretly do.

5. We think of the politest way to say ‘No’

giphy

6. Please do not make us the deciding factor in ANYTHING

giphy

7. We tend to overbook ourselves

giphy

We try to please everyone and do as many things as possible, but we tend to bite more off than we can chew.

8. At night we play through the day to see things we could have avoided, but didn’t

giphy

It raises some anxiety, honestly.

9. People just assume you’re a ‘go with the flow’ kind of person

giphy

We are the definition of the "Yes" Man!

10. We wish someone would think about us every once in a while.

giphy

We think about everyone else, but sometimes we want to be the one taken care of and pleased with what we want.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
