A people pleaser is “a person who has an emotional need to please others often at the expense of his or her own needs or desires” according to Merriam-Webster.

When you people please, you want to get liked and accepted, and maybe you believe that your life will be easier if you agree with others and don't stir up drama.

But your life doesn't become easier. Quite the opposite. . .
