One surprising thing that most people-pleasers have in common.

Описание: People-pleasers: YOU are not negotiable.

My book STOP People Pleasing and Find Your Power, out now, teaches you how to break the pattern of over-compromise and bring a stronger, firmer self to your relationships. Get it today (book, ebook, or audiobook) at Haileymagee.com/book

Do all relationships require compromise? Absolutely. Do all relationships require us to be flexible? Yes, to an extent. But people-pleasers treat EVERY SINGLE THING like it’s negotiable: their every need, feeling, boundary, dream, and desire.

When we compromise on all of the things that make us who we are, we lose ourselves. After a lifetime of being as fluid as water, we must give ourselves permission to be more firm, more solid, like mountains.

It’s completely healthy and natural that when we’re firm, there will be relationships, communities, and workplaces that are not compatible with us. This is normal: we’re not meant to be compatible with every person and every thing. The only way we accomplish that is by shapeshifting completely⁠—and we’re not doing that anymore, y’all.
