Being a People Pleaser is a Strength, not a Weakness<\/h1>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a people pleaser\u201d is not something you expect for someone to say with much pride.<\/p>\n

Am I wrong? When you think, \u201cHe\u2019s a people pleaser\u201d, what kind of person do you think I\u2019m talking about? A push over? Someone who is too eager?<\/p>\n

The truth is, many people see a desire to please people as a weakness. But I don\u2019t see it that way at all. It\u2019s time to start thinking about it as a strength.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been told by society that it is a negative trait, that it\u2019s a flaw. It\u2019s been perceived that way and reinforced for so long that it\u2019ll take a long time to change that perception. But I truly believe that it can be one of your greatest strengths.<\/p>\n

What is wrong with wanting to give? Being positive? Making sure everyone around you is happy? To me, these sound like the furthest things from a \u201cweakness\u201d and it blows my mind why people would want to label it as such. However, it can become a problem, but not in any of the ways I just listed.<\/p>\n

When does it become a problem?<\/p>\n

When you don\u2019t know how to ask for something in return.<\/p>\n

You can give give give all you want, but if you never step up and ask for something back, you\u2019re not going to win. Life is about making connections, finding opportunities, and working hard. When you give someone something they need, when you make a dream a reality for them, they, in a sense, owe you. And they will be much more willing to do something for you because of it. It\u2019s a give and receive scenario, and it\u2019s as old as time. But you have to ask.<\/strong> Nothing will ever happen if you don\u2019t just step up and ask<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So stop trying to overcome the people pleasing part of yourself. You don\u2019t want to, and you shouldn\u2019t let people tell you otherwise. Truly wanting to be able to make others happy is a tremendous personality trait. But you can\u2019t forget to look out for yourself. Be vocal about what you need. You can\u2019t forget your right hooks with your jabs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
