A people pleaser does what others ask; no matter what.
Need help? I'm your girl.
Want an idea? I'll think one up.
Have a task to complete? I'll jump in.
Don't want to do something? Sure, I can cover for you.
Can't make the obligation you said you would do? No problem, I'll handle it.
And then there is my own responsibilities.
I need help...but I can't ask others because that's not what people pleaser's do.
It wouldn't please them.
I want a better idea...but I can't ask because I should have figured it out on my own.
It wouldn't benefit others if they knew I didn't have all the ideas.
I have too many tasks to complete....but it's my fault because I'm not a good manager.
It would prove to others I'm not capable.
I don't want to do something......but I have too, so I'll bend my skill set, adapt, push through, argue with my inner self, because that's what's expected.
It wouldn't be good to show I can't do it all.
I need to fulfill all my obligations because that's integrity and honor.
It wouldn't be right to show others I make mistakes, I fail.
And failure is never an option to a people pleaser.
And that's the art of self-sabotage,
multiplied by thousands of thoughts, actions, decisions,
every day.
No wonder I need rehab.
