I know I am a people pleaser. I used to hide it, deny it and try to fight it. Then one day I realized I couldn't do it. It is who I am. No need to shame myself into changing it. Trying to change it hasn't worked AT ALL.
So, I delve into understanding this aspect.
For one thing, why the hatin'? I mean, if you are on the receiving end of a people pleaser why would you not consider that a good thing? Seriously? Think about it. I don't understand. I am doing for YOU. I am making YOUR life more comfortable. What's not in it for YOU?
Second, I thoroughly enjoy other people's happiness. It's not that I don't have needs, wants, desires, preferences, etc. They just aren't as...demanding. What movie to see? I don't care. Really. I just want to be in your company so what we do matters not. Does that make sense. Probably not to you. It does to me. I enjoy watching your pleasure, your happiness and your excitement. Observing you.
When the world is happy I am happy.
So c'mon world GET FRAPPIN' HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
