Jefferson Fisher says always being nice and people pleasing won't get you very far, and that disappointing someone is a matter of growth. It's hard because everybody is a recovering people pleaser. Psychologist Harriet Braiker gave the pattern a name in her book The Disease to Please. The habit feels like kindness but runs on fear of what happens when someone is upset with you. His closing line is the keeper: if you are going to people please, at least make sure one of them is you. #PeoplePleasing #Boundaries #SelfRespect #PersonalGrowth #Mindset
