This is tough for a lot of people. Since deep down we all want to be accepted and liked, the quickest way to accomplish this is to please others. BUT you can not please everyone and the more you try, the crazier you will become. Eventually a people pleaser will get extremely frustrated because they work really hard at making others happy and not everyone is, so neither are they! I am sure everyone has experienced this type of situation, “Where do you want to go?”, “I don’t know, where do you want to go?”, “I can’t think of anywhere in particular, do you have a suggestion?” and on and on. No one wants to be the first one to speak up because their choice might not please the other person. Stop this now! If you do not share your true feelings, you put yourself in a position of subservience. What you feel is important and should be valued. Just think, if you don’t share your thoughts no one will get to know what you really like and then they can’t please you!
