☆ I've always been a people pleaser. I learned to stop saying 'yes' to everything after a painful body massage.
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Jennifer Thompson | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Until the very idea of saying "yes" to one more thing left me feeling emotionally depleted, on edge, and lost. I was tackling it all, saying "yes" to all the things, when on the inside, my body was screaming for me to stop. The irony of it all was that by saying yes to everything, I wasn't helping anyone. How many times in a day do you catch yourself saying "yes" to things you don't even want to? We say "yes" to another date with a guy we're not even into, because we don't want to be mean.
