Why I do I try to make every body happy and then make my self unhappy. I'm fed up of doing things and changing plans to make other people happy. Wish I could stop my self. Dose any body else out there always try to make eveydody other than them self happy.

Hello

It is called People pleasing something a lot of people do especially if they have a lack of self worth which often comes hand in hand when you are suffering with something like anxiety

Someone once said to me when I had a rant over this

How many people do you please

I replied well not many it always seems to go wrong even though I have the best intentions

So they replied well have you thought of pleasing yourself first because that way you will always know for sure one person is happy !

I thought about that and thought they do have a point and started putting into practice

Not easy at the start and people do not always like it at the start either because they get used to us pleasing all the time but eventually it started to work and I felt a lot better for it

Maybe give it a go and please you then that is one person happy everyday :-)

Take Care x

They say "what goes around comes around" . I always try to make people happy but it's never appreciated or reciprocated. I really don't know how I would accept being

happy.

I do that constantly, and am only just beginning to realize how harmful this is, I have decided to try to learn to think more of me.. something I never do, also am trying to lose the trying to be perfect rubbish as this too causes me a lot of stress... I think many who suffer with anxiety are people pleasers a bad habit that gets us no where
