Living to please others is something we should let go of. I hated it when people disliked something about me. I would change my likes and dislikes to their likes and dislikes but it has never helped me.
Being a people pleaser kinda eats you from the inside. It makes you feel like you’re not enough and you know what? You’ll never be enough for people who require pleasing. Get that through your mind.
Don’t change yourself for people.
I was a person who didn’t have a personality of her own. I would be different with different people. I would study the people the first week after our introduction and everything and become the kind of person they liked.
But there came a time when I had a lot of questions in my mind like:
1. Can I not be myself with people?
2. Should I care if they don’t like the way I am?
That’s when I became myself. That doesn’t mean that I became a rude person or anything but what it means is that I stopped pleasing people.
Because it was affecting my health in a bad way. It is overwhelming when you have to act the whole day. Act a person who’s not you. You cry yourself to sleep sometimes. Look into your reflection and ignore your beauty and cuss at your flaws instead.
Keep one thing in your mind, everyone. You are amazing. What people think and say is their problem, not yours. Don’t mistreat people. Stay humble.
Be true to yourself. Be you.
