However, I won’t change who I am or what I believe to get their approval.

Anymore.

What?

I too try to please everyone and sometimes I get so frustrated with myself for doing this! It’s hard and I hate to say no, but you are right, sometimes we have to say no.

As bad as I want not to care what others think, I do like crazy. I think to the point of compromising my own happiness. Totally not worth. And I think we can get in a tail spin of regrets if we live to please anyone other than God. Thx for this post. I needed it.

Her and I struggle with people pleasing, mostly with our immediate families. I had a problem yesterday, lack of funds, & w/Christmas coming up, trying to get everyone what they want…well, guess what? Stress. lol…that is where the issue of anger at myself comes in. Great blog, the issue is being dealt with! sort of! lol

My first realization of this was when she used to tell me “I am not out to win a popularity contest with you” while I was growing up. Her priority was to do what was right by me and could have cared less if I liked her (well I am sure she cared, but she didnt show it ;) )
