The Pain of People-Pleasing - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Have you ever stopped and thought, “no matter what I do, someone’s going to be unhappy”? Most of us have…I sure have!

I vividly remember the moment my people-pleasing self realized that people-pleasing is a dead end road. I was 16, in high school, and was being pulled in three different directions at once. My amazing guidance counselor wanted me to do one thing, my physics teacher wanted something else, and Mom and Dad were expecting something completely different. I stood in my bedroom, door closed, agonizing over how I could possibly please them all.

Then it hit me – what did I want? It was like I had never considered that before…have you had that moment, too?

No matter what you do, people will always find fault. Some might talk about you behind your back, some might challenge you to your face, and some might quietly cut you out of their lives.

None of those people matter in your life.

They’re clearly showing you that they don’t respect you, they just want what they want from you, and when you stop delivering, they stop caring. Move on. You do you. You’re literally the only person that will be with you through your lifetime.
