so first get to the root of why you are a people pleaser. for me it was just because i didn’t want them to dislike me, so i did everything they asked. i had a bigger problem of being overly concerned with people’s perception of me, so once i worked on not caring what people thing as much, the people pleasing went away too.

The people you’re trying to please would never show up for you if you needed them to. I used to be a people pleaser to overcompensate for being an only kid and being a black girl bc I felt like people thought I was selfish or mean so I’d let a lot of things slide and be overly generous. Tbh it has made me bitter which made it easier to stop being a people pleaser but don’t be the first person someone will call on and the last they’ll show up for when you’re in need.

Start being angry!!!!!! I used to be SUCH a people pleaser (literally would kiss my enemies feet lol) and now that I allow myself to get mad it’s so much easier to just dish disrespect where it’s necessary

Also realize how evil and disgusting the world is and how you can embrace being a little evil too without hurting anyone LMAO
