The People-Pleasing Spectrum: Are You Ready to Choose Yourself?

We all want to be liked, to connect with others, and feel valued. But sometimes, that desire to please others can morph into something less healthy – people-pleasing.

Here's the thing: People-pleasing comes in many forms, not just the classic "Yes-Person." Let's explore some common types:

• The Yes-Person: Always agrees to requests, even when overloaded.

• The Gift-Giver: Showers friends with gifts, sometimes exceeding their budget, to feel appreciated.

• The Apologizer: Frequently apologizes, even when not at fault, to maintain harmony.

• The Emotional Sponge: Absorbs others' emotions without offering their own perspective.

• The Fixer: Jumps in to solve friends' problems, unsolicited, to feel needed.

• The People-Pleasing Chameleon: Adapts their interests and personalities to match their friends, losing their sense of identity.

Sound familiar? Don't worry, you're not alone. I've been there too!

But here's the good news: You can break free from these people-pleasing patterns and choose yourself first.

Here's how:

• Identify your triggers: What situations make you feel like you need to please others?

• Set healthy boundaries: Learn to say "no" with grace and confidence.

• Practice self-compassion: Remember, your needs matter too!

• Focus on authenticity: Embrace your true self and connect with people who appreciate you for who you are.
