I’m a “people-pleaser” and it’s really a problem. Like, I mean, the majority of the time…or rather, when I’m actually my self, or at least feel like it a lot of my behaviors match those of when I’m in “people-pleaser” mode. I like making people happy; I like providing a pleasant little moment before they head off to their own personal hell called their “Job”…

The thing is, “people-pleasing” is inspired by Fear; my genuine self, inspired by Love.

I’ve been using work recently as a kind of training gound to break my “people-pleasing” habits. It’s easier to say “No” when there’s a counter in between you and whoever wants to hurt you.

Before I get to my main point, learning how to say “No” is very important to me. “No” never meant anything before. My life felt like a joke, being named “Noah” yet can’t even say “No”, so all I end up doing is screaming “ah!”

Anyways, I’m running outta thyme.
