It sounds like you have been raised to be a pleaser. For me to change a behavior, it has always helped to understand where it came from. I'm sure you could trace this back to your upbringing and realize why you felt the need to be a pleaser. The second step in this is to realize that whoever you altered your behavior for probably needed some help themselves because most likely they were supposed to be looking out for your needs. It always helped me to do this because I could look back and say "okay, this little glitch in my development is now causing me problems. I developed this way and now I can develop a different way".
