Why am I such a people pleaser? Yes....a question I often ponder, but definitely am reflecting on today. I would like to know why I am such a people pleaser?!?!?!?!?! Why do I always want to make others happy, sometimes at the expense of my own feelings (i.e. today)?? Integrity is very important to me....and I try to live with a high level of integrity in all aspects of life and try not to create conflict (but I do realize conflict is sometimes needed.....but I like to deal with it and then bring about harmony). I care about others and try to find the most appropriate way to handle difficult situations. So why....when I have done nothing wrong.....I can let others reactions make "me" feel bad??? Ugghhhh!!! I wish that I could just be laid-back and say oh well...I have done what I can....it is their issue as to why they are responding this way. However....no, I can't.....instead I let myself feel bad for no reason.
Is this a confidence issue on my part? Am I not self-confident enough?? Or do I just care too damn much about others feelings???
Okay.....sorry.....I needed to get this rant out. :-)
I would say, knowing you, you care too much about others feelings. Is that bad, though???
