In a desire to be likeable and friendly, we can become overly concerned with the need to please others. Years ago, I remember an old boyfriend telling me up front ….within the first few months of dating… that “I am a Pleaser.” He told me like it was some kind of identity badge. Jane: I used to walk into a party and think, Oh, my God, will I be interesting enough? I try my hardest not to force my children to act a certain (acceptable to others) way. I was unclear if he was proud of it or just warning me. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaX-AF0-Fpw[/youtube] Let me be REALLY CLEAR. Oprah: I've read that, like me, you've always struggled with the disease to please. Largely because I have a real issue saying “no” to people. Please I took one for the team today. Well, much of my frustration in life has been the result of this disease. Is is more important to teach your children to be nice or to speak their truth? In fact I've been doing a lot of it recently. This condition is more popularly referred to as the “disease to please.” When Friendship Goes Awry. Actually I did the same yesterday too. You may be suffering from the self-damaging disease to please. I am not and will never condone buying food from KFC. One thing I have become very aware of lately is the fact that my empath ability has created something else. This must be a book that is made for me and for others who has this what they call the “disease to please”. Do you too often put the needs and desires of others above your own?
