How To Stop People Pleasing

Do you have "the disease to please"? People pleasing syndrome refers to a person who has an emotional need to please others often at the expense of his or her own needs or desires. Though you may have good intentions, people pleasing is disrespectful to yourself and others because it is inauthentic. It does not allow others to know what you truly feel. It is also exhausting, depleting, and often un-rewarding. , to help you stop people pleasing, in this video, we will talk about what causes people pleasing and how to stop being a people pleaser.
Previously, we also made a video on the signs you may be a people pleaser: • 5 Signs You're a Peopl...

    Yeah it’s true. There is a fine line between unconsciously wielding power in a thoughtless and hurtful way ie ‘I’ll see you when I want!’ and compromise. It can be very upsetting when people close to you suddenly don’t appear to care about having friends, except when it suits them. In this case they are now simply using you, as and when it suits them. Diplomacy and considerate compromise goes a long way, whereas cruel rejection leaves damaged souls in its wake. People pleasers might need to take extra care, not to go to the other extreme and blame their previous agreeableness on the other person - especially if that person could never be considered toxic, was always open to compromise, but had never been made aware they were ever unwelcome in the first place.

    I’ve been a people pleaser for as long as I can remember. I think part of it is from me being terrified of negative reactions/criticism and not being able to handle them well, so I end up doing what would make others happy to avoid it. I’ve tried getting better at prioritizing myself but it’s really hard…..I feel like my progress always gets reset when the slightest thing goes wrong. Plus my anxiety makes me imagine all kinds of scenarios where someone yells at me for doing something wrong….it’s a pain in the ass and I hate it.

    I was a people pleaser when I was younger. I forgot that I had the power all along. I just didn't show it at the time. Gradually, I started to set boundaries and said no more often. I stopped apologizing as well. I cut off all the toxic people after graduating. I decided that I had enough, and I wasn't going to continue to be taken advantage of. I set boundaries. I know when to speak up and say no. I protect my boundaries. I know how to stand up for myself to prevent resentment from building up. Don't be so nice that others start to use your good nature against you.

    In my opinion, wanting to please someone in the sense that you want to make them happy even if you have to make some kind of a sacrifice can be genuine, too. Also, being sincerely altruistic doesn't make you immune to people who just want to use that for their own benefit and who ignore your feelings along the way. Speaking from personal experience 😅 While it's always best to be there for others because you truly want to, I think it's also important to keep in mind that there are people who will still appreciate and respect you even if you can't do something for them. On the other hand, there are people who won't actually appreciate you even if you help them, but will like keeping you around just because it's convenient for them. Those people only care about their own feelings and will gaslight you when you try to focus on taking care of yourself. I need to keep reminding myself this in order to stop that kind of people pleasing which leaves me hurt and manipulated by others, no matter how sincere that desire to help others might be.

    I feel this! I actually plan on talking with my therapist about this all today. I very much am someone who goes above and beyond for others and am an empathetic person. If the people in my life aren't happy I am not happy. If people in my life are sad I am sad, etc... I struggle to say no to the people I love out of fear of angering them and or being rejected or both or worse... I am on a path to be kinder to myself and find myself again. I come from a broken home myself and have dealt with physical and verbal abuse. I moved out at 17, I packed all my things into garbage bags and moved in with my grandparents and I have been here since. I am now 24 and have been diagnosed with autism and bipolar disorder as well as with anxiety and chronic depression. I take medication and am a big advocate for self love and just love in general. I always call out gaslighting and manipulation when I see it in play. I firmly believe that everyone is deserving of love. I hope that any of you who are reading this can find the courage and respect to love yourselves and put yourselves first again as I am trying to do so. We need more people encouraging others rather than tearing them down! Much love to you all! Stay strong!

    Number 5 really hit home for me. If you’re in a situation where you are surrounded by toxic or negative people, don’t be afraid to step away. Don’t listen to anything negative they say to you. Also, look after yourself. Is there something you’ve wanted to do for a while, but were too nervous or scared to do? Do it. Also, don’t think about the people trying to bring you down. Try to see the positive side in every situation. Change ‘I don’t have many friends’ to ‘I don’t need lots of friends, I just need a few really good ones’. The smallest things can make the biggest difference.

I didn’t think being a people pleaser was bad so I said that it wasn’t a problem. She asked me if I would sacrifice myself to save someone else and I said absolutely. Yesterday I lost a friend that had been taking advantage of me for 6 years and for some reason I feel like I’m in the wrong. Being a people pleaser is my addiction that I can’t get rid of and it’s killing me from the inside out.

    for so long I've mostly said and done things that would make others happy. I always told others and myself that if they are happy, I am happy. I always tried being an uplifter for people and I never wanted to be the reason someone felt sad or any sort of inconvenience. watching this made me realize how much of myself I have put off for the sake of other's happiness. I never really cared much for myself or my well being and mostly just focused on how to make others feel good. I'm still learning and working towards improving myself and finding who I am, but I just wanted to say thank you for helping me recognize my habits. Thank you psych2go

    I have been a people pleaser all my life. And I started realising it now. Earlier I just to believe it was ok, it was necessary to keep others first because otherwise they will not accept me. But now are started realising that it wasn't like that. I think for others, they become happy, just one mistake or just once if I want to think about myself, they start calling me selfish. I have given away my self respect, confidence, mental health, to please other who are never satisfied. No matter what you do for others, they are still gonna talk behind your back. I don't know how to say no. If someone is harming me, and I know it, I still don't wanna hurt that person the same way and continue let them hurt me. I am so tired of all this now. I have given away my life and priorities to satisfy those people who'll never become happy. Maybe because I was taught this way from childhood that prioritising yourself is selfish. And now I have become a people pleaser and now my parents wonder why I never care about myself or speak for myself😔

    I thought I stopped being a people pleaser when i was able to cut all toxic people from my life, learned to say no and stopped apologising, but since getting my first real job where I work alone and without a supervisor (i sell ice cream) I've found myself having to deal with customers who don't respect my authority when I tell them to wear a mask and personally attack me. It's come to the point where I've had panic attacks at work because I can't stand being made into a bad person. I don't know what to do, it feels like there's no way to control it and it's made me dislike my job just because I have so many regulars which means i have to serve people who have called me rude every day. I'm able to set boundaries and say no in my personal life, but at work or with strangers in general i really struggle.

Since I got to college I’ve been trying to be more open about who I am and not what others want me to be, but it’s been hard to break the habit and be myself when I hardly know who I really am. But it’s worth all of the trying and learning once I look back and see my improvement. Videos like this r so encouraging and I love the practical help they give, thank u! ☺️

I make sure that I know that I'm worthy and I matter. As well as saying no to things and not always saying yes to avoid a potentially stressful situation. I make sure that I do things for myself and things that bring me pleasure. Having myself in position to be where I want to be in the future. Let go of people that were taking advantage of my niceness and willingness to give my all. Lastly, to not be sorry when I stand my ground and not allow ANYONE to take advantage of me as a person. I will always look for my family, friends and partner. But will never stop looking out for me as well. I am just as important.

I have always been hypersensitive to what other people think about how I present myself and the decisions I make. It has majorly damaged me socially. Even though a big part of me doesn’t really care, I feel very lonely. Thanks to videos like this, I can carry on my life understanding that I am not alone and I can’t satisfy everyone all the time.
