Are you constantly saying 'yes' even when you want to say 'no'? Do you find yourself prioritizing everyone else's needs above your own? You might be a people pleaser. While wanting to be liked is natural, constantly seeking external validation can lead to burnout, resentment, and a loss of self.
But there's good news: you *can* break free! Start by identifying your core values. What truly matters to *you*? Practice setting small boundaries – a simple 'no' here and there. Challenge your fear of disappointing others by understanding that their reactions are not your responsibility. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's essential. Overcoming people-pleasing is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Embrace your authentic self and watch your relationships flourish on a foundation of genuine connection, not obligation.
