For the most part, I don't believe I'm a people pleaser... except with Jerry. Even then, I'm not sure because I do have my boundaries... although I have NEVER given into anyone like I have him. But that's over for the most part.

There's nothing wrong with having reasonable boundaries for yourself. The old school, of which I'm from, says you give even if you don't have anything left to give. No way! Now me!

There's a saying that I try to live by most of the time. "This above all; to thine own self be true." Shakespeare. IMO, you have to know yourself well in order to be true to yourself. You need to know where YOUR boundaries lie, what YOU think is right and what is wrong, and do you care for yourself like you care those you give to. There is also another saying "Do not cast your pears before swine." To me that means don't keep giving to those that don't appreciate it or those that use you. Sky calls those people "looters" I do believe. (Sky correct me if I'm wrong.) It's those people that take and take and never give anything in return... and you can tell they can but won't by their attitude.

In the final analysis, NO, I'm not a people pleaser. People can like me for who I am, just the way I am, or they can truck it on down the road! But I have to be true to myself first! I'm the one I sleep with and I'm the one that I'm alone with. I AM NOT responsible for how people react or feel towards me. Their feelings are their own responsibility... as long as I don't go out of my way to hurt them.
