Hello Figuring.out: Well... from my perspective at least, there's nothing wrong with being a people pleaser really. I'd take it as kind-of a complement. The only potential pitfalls are that people who try to please everyone sometimes end up taking on more than they can realistically handle & sometimes they may end up doing things they wish they hadn't done just to please someone. But as long as you don't take on more than you can handle, & you know how to say "no" when it's appropriate, then I'd say... "please-on"!

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
