I've been a people pleaser for as long as I can remember and while I'm working hard to change that, I still understand the everyday struggles of being a people pleaser. It's a hard life folks!

You can NEVER please MAN or HAVE confidence in him.....always please or aim to please God.

Yep. It's a never ending cycle. If only they knew how different (in a bad way) their life would be if you weren't there at their beck and call.

This is a real thing! I didn't realise until recently that that's what I did. I'm breaking out of the cycle and all my best buds I can see were just users. They don't like me very much but now I don't care. The hardest thing is voicing your opinions very hard even if someone disagrees cos u feel guilty if there's a misunderstanding.
