It is definitely somewhat a crutch of feeling that you have to please others in order to be accepted.

When you please others in hopes of being accepted, you lose you self-worth in the process.
It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it.
Yes, obviously, there's this degree of wanting people to accept other people faiths and philosophies.
I really like to please people, and I think it's a symptom of being an only child.

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.
