I used to be a people pleaser, always putting others before myself, especially with my family and in romantic relationships. I would say yes to things I didn’t want to do, just to make others happy. But by the end of the day, I felt exhausted, sad, and wondered why I was never enough. It didn’t matter how much I did; I still felt empty and unappreciated.
One day, I stumbled across a random YouTube video, and something clicked. I realized that my happiness was tied to how happy I made others. This revelation opened my eyes to the cycle I was trapped in, and I knew I had to make a change. In this blog post, I’ll explore the causes and effects of people-pleasing and share how I finally broke free from it.
