If You’re a People Pleaser Listen to This! (Why Putting Yourself First Isn’t Selfish, It’s Necessary For Real Connection)

So I have to set boundaries and you have to enforce your boundaries with people in general. I always want to ensure that I'm creating a healthy space for people, whether it's in my home or wherever it is, as long as you're in my presence, I want you to be happy. I want you to feel seen, heard, appreciated, valued, understood, but again, not at my own detriment.

So if I'm not receiving the same thing from you, then something has to give or something has to stop. I stopped people pleasing when I realized the people that I was trying to please were not trying to reciprocate that energy to me. I also realized that I was putting myself second almost all the time for other people with very little reciprocation. I just decided that it just wasn't for me.

If You’re a People Pleaser Listen to This! (Why Putting Yourself First Isn’t Selfish, It’s Necessary For Real Connection)

There's a whole backstory in my book about people pleasing and it explains my journey on that. But in the short form, I had to stop for my own sanity and for my own self-respect, especially when you look, when you compare your efforts to others and you almost look and you can see they've got boundaries that I don't have. Because if I asked them to do what they're asking me, they would say no.

Why would they say no? Is it because they're a horrible person? Is it because of this or they're selfish? No, it's because of their boundary. So I realized that everybody around me had their boundaries when it came to me. But as I was people pleasing, I didn't have any for anybody else. And on top of that, with people pleasing,

It just takes you to lengths that you were never prepared to go, you know, and it's just unfair to put yourself in that position. Do the best you can to support, but never at your own detriment. And if it is going to be at your own detriment, then that's something that you have to sit down and discuss with yourself. Okay, this is costing me this, but what am I learning in the process?

Yeah, I think enforcing your boundaries is the key thing to putting an end to people-pleasing and just realising that put that love into yourself, put that devotion and that time and that energy into yourself. Why are you so scared to do that? Because you'll find a lot of people who people please, they don't actually have great relationships with themselves.

So just that energy is great, but just bring it back to yourself first. Similar to when you're on an airplane, you have to put the mask on first before you help other people. It's very similar.

firstly, to dive deeper into the reasonings behind the good quote. There are so many quote pages out there. The good quote does have the most followers because we started, but it wasn't a hustle. It wasn't something that I thought, I didn't even think of money. You know, it was a hobby and it was something that came from desperation, lack of community.
