I know that there's people that have expectations of me, and I'm a people pleaser, so I want them to be happy.
I was an only child for 16 years. I didn't realize it at the time, but that experience definitely turned me into a people pleaser. I always tried to do what was expected of me, and I constantly sought reassurance from the adults around me that I was doing a good job.
I really grew up more of a people pleaser and I just wanted to make people happy, and maybe didn't always say exactly how I was feeling.
I'm done living for other people. I'm done being a people pleaser. I'm done thinking about what people think about me.
I'm a real people pleaser, and for a while I was really desperate to make a kind of thing that would satisfy everyone, and I realized I was focusing so much on satisfying everyone else that I'd forgotten that the only real way to make anything true is to focus on making what you want to hear and saying what you want to say. Trying to people please with my art was a direct line to complete meltdown, writer's block situation, and I had to look inward before I could move past it.
Basically, I'm a people pleaser who has a knack for disappointing.
I was definitely never a crowd pleaser.
We as human beings are slightly masochistic. Everybody is ridden with insecurities and they manifest themselves in different ways, whether you're a pleaser, you're mean, you're super-duper sweet and get walked on, or you're a gossip that talks about someone else.
I'm definitely a people pleaser. I like people to be happy around me and be comfortable. I go out of my way, sometimes to a fault, to make sure everyone is okay.
I'm a pleaser. That's my character.
