Because you are not giving yourself the life of your dreams.
podcast-host
You don't even count yourself as someone in this world that needs to be pleased.
podcast-host
Yeah?
podcast-host
People pleasers.
podcast-host
We go around thinking that we need to make everybody else happy.
podcast-host
But what we're really doing as people pleasers is you're not even making anyone happy.
podcast-host
You're just pleasing.
podcast-host
not disappointing them.
podcast-host
You're not bolstering their happiness.
podcast-host
You are actually quite patronizingly creating this fiction of a reality in which they think that you're fine, you're happy, and you're not.
podcast-host
And so you're almost coddling them with this big lie because you don't think they can handle their own fucking feelings.
podcast-host
It's really patronizing.
podcast-host
These are adult people in your life that deserve to experience disappointment and survive it.
podcast-host
When you base your life and you make these little choices...
podcast-host
all big choices, right?
podcast-host
Staying in a degree that you hate, staying in a job that you hate, staying in a city that you hate, even just like the way that you live your life, right?
podcast-host
Doing things constantly on a micro level to not disappoint other people.
podcast-host
Even if you're like afraid of disappointing the waiter by not moving your table because it's too hot in the sun and you're sat there and you've got beads of sweat going down your fucking back, but you don't want to be difficult and so you don't ask to be moved.
podcast-host
You are always optimizing for other people's discomfort and sidelining your own.
podcast-host
Those small moments, they don't feel like something big in the moment, but what they add up to is an entire fucking life that has never once been architected from your desires.
