To the People Pleaser

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at MNSU chapter.

To the people pleaser,

You and I have a lot in common. If you have been called this term, then there must be a reason. A reason for why they said that, and a reason for why they think that. My guess is that you have good intentions, whereas they may not be thinking that way.

Some people think we are suck-ups.

Others know that we just look out for the ones we love the most.

Some people think we are fake.

Other know that we have genuine intentions.

Some people think we talk behind backs.

Others know we just don’t want to hurt anyones feelings.

Some people would say you invite everyone, including the annoying and uncool people.

Others know that you just want everyone to be included.

Some people call us “people pleasers.”

Others say that we just want everyone to be happy.

Some people just don’t understand what it’s like to try and be the best, kindest and most pleasing person you can possibly people. Some people will want to put you down because you try to bring everyone up with you.

If you are a people pleaser, take it as a compliment, my darling.
