I’ve found myself being a PP. Have you?
A PP here.
PP there.
Here a P.
There a P.
You get it.
It’s…
People Pleasing.
And gosh, it’s tiring.
- Attempting to reply to every comment.
- Answer every question.
- Having a ‘yes’ attitude.
- Accepting too much.
- Taking on other people’s problems.
The worst is when you feel guilty about doing the things you want to do!
My mate Paul Mort https://shop.michaelheppell.com/day17-durham/ and I talked about this a while ago and he hit me with this:
‘By being a people pleaser I became angry at the people I was trying to please!’
Here’s a thought.
Rather than trying to please everybody.
Bring joy to one person.
And if that person needs to be you…
So be it.
Are you a people pleaser? How do you deal with it?
I’d love to know what you think below.
Be Brilliant!
Michael
