How To Overcome Being a People Pleaser

I was always the type to adjust to people's opinions and moods until it drove me crazy. I was always and sometimes afraid to be my true self. When I would tell people about my dreams and goals, they would laugh or tell me to stop wasting my times and that life is just a big party and you just need to work, pay bills, and party and drink. Those were my influences. They are so limited, but I know I want more and I am finally moving toward my goals. Now I am not so moved by other opinions. Once I start clearing out all the negativity people did not want to be around me, which is now okay with me. My life is more peaceful. At times, I still get caught up and have to catch myself.

Saying NO - added: 2008-05-22 07:32:02

I have the problem that when someone asks me to do something I say yes even when I want to say no for fear they will be mad at me. Its a horrible thing that happens often. Im not talking about favors every so often or whatever but I feel like people take advantage of me all the time. I am not going to do this anymore. If people want to be mad then so be it. I cant live to please other people all the time before myself or my family. I have alot on my plate right now with caring for myself, my family, and my aging grandmother. I cant keep piling it on just so people will like me. Im a really good person, funny, caring, and I am my own best friend. So when someone calls me just to do what they need and no other time I am gonna smile and politly say NO.
