Struggling with people pleasing
hi everyone, just here to rant.
im tired of feeling like i give too much to my friends and i bend over backwards for them. i know they love and care for me and they're good people, but im tired of always trying to fix things for them even though doing so is in my nature and if they come to me with a problem i always want to be there for and help them. i feel like i don't even have the right to complain because i've brought this on myself trying to "people please" all the time. i'm tired of always being the centre ground for arguments between friends and im tired of being the one to pass messages to the other. i know it's so selfish to wish for everyone to just get along but im so tired of being the referee between my friends whenever they fight or argue or whatever it is. it's so draining and i dont know how long i can continue doing this for. i understand boundaries are important but i'm not good at saying no because i feel too bad 90% of the time. i've gotten better at it in the past few years but it's still difficult and taking its toll on my wellbeing.
thanks for listening to my rant, and i hope you have a nice day 🙂
