Are You a People-Pleaser?

You might be thinking to yourself…

THERE’S NO WAY I’M A PEOPLE-PLEASER!

I just really like helping people

I just care about other people’s feelings

I just don’t like confrontation

And all of those things may be true.

But are you acting at the expense of your own well-being?

You might be a people-pleaser if:

• You say yes to a task or an invitation, even when you’re at full capacity

• You avoid speaking your mind or having difficult conversations for fear of the other person’s reaction

• You go along with the plan to avoid “rocking the boat”

• You second guess your own decisions and wonder what other people in your shoes would do

• You have trouble setting boundaries because you don’t want to come off as rude or controlling

• You let worrying about what other people think hold you back from what you really want to do

• You go out of you way to be like by others

You probably really do care deeply about others. And that’s a beautiful quality to have. But if you are overextending, neglecting or shrinking yourself to avoid or protect other people’s feelings, it may be time to take a step back and reevaluate.

As a life coach, I can help you explore how some of these behaviors may or may not align with your beliefs and values and which of them may no longer be serving you.

Together, we can decide how you can still show up with kindness while setting boundaries and protecting your peace.
