I'm a pleaser, but it's not a good thing because you forget about pleasing yourself at the end of the day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's something very addictive about people pleasing. It's a thought pattern and a habit that feels really, really good until it becomes desperate.
There just isn't any pleasing some people. The trick is to stop trying.
I think one thing I've learned over the years is just that you're not going to ever please everyone, and the most important person to please is yourself.
I suppose my life has always been about pleasing people, making sure they're all right, doing the right thing. Then, suddenly, you have to face up to what you want and be honest about it.
And when I stopped doing that and started thinking about what feels natural and what feels right to me and started pleasing myself, then it became good.
At the end of the day I have to please myself. And I've made a record to please myself.
I'm passionate about pleasing people.
I think inherently, a little bit, I'm a bit of a pleaser, and I want people to like me and be nice, and to not ruffle feathers and just make everybody happy and stuff. It's a personality flaw.
If you're not someone who has a natural and effortless love for yourself, it's hard to let go of your desire to please other people, and that's really not an ingredient for a happy life.
Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal. No one feels, who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.
