There is a big difference between being a people pleaser and simply being kind. Being compassionate towards others is what life is all about. However, there’s a big difference between being compassionate and allowing yourself to be taken advantage of. Know your boundaries and be bold enough to enforce them.
- Accepting blame to keep the peace.
- Remaining silent when you have an issue.
- Disregarding your needs.
- Allowing people who havent changed back into your life.
- Doing for others what they could do for themselves.
- Going out of the way to accommodate people.
What would you add to the list?
Changing yourself to be who you’re not.

I don’t completely agree with first two points here.
They entirely depend on the ‘situation’. Sometimes, silence is the best answer, instead of starting a chaos. And choosing peace over fighting for something minor – always better.
Like I said, ‘situations matter’, sometimes, you got to speak up, and strike a fight, other times, you have to keep peace, and keep your mouth shut.
The rest are pretty much on the mark. Good post!
