I quite use to like the term 'people pleaser' as I thought it made me sound like I really wanted to 'please people' so I was I must've been a REALLY nice person, which is so far from the truth it is mad. Lol.
The real reason I was pleasing people was to get something out of them. I.e. attention, friendship etc...
But I have a cunning mind too, you see, so folllowing that, I can also be disagreeable with everyone I meet, come into contact with as well.
Chosing what is best for me, expressing my thoughts then letting them go and/or letting go of the outcome and then being/acting responsible for these things is a hard friggin thing for me to learn!!
And living in a way that allows others to do the same, or at least not putting them down for it, is also a hard lesson for me.
I am reminded of that phrase, one can't believe in God and play God at the same time.
Great thread.
