i saw a post about this here and it reminded me of a conversation i had with my boyfriend the other day...

do u consider yourselves people pleasers? do u have any tips on how to overcome? for me, i feel like it's so difficult to say no to people, especially to those i care about and i always do everything i can to help :(

>for context: a people pleaser is someone that usually tends to be "too nice" with everyone, like: agreeing with whoever is in front of them, apologizing for things that aren’t their fault**,** not being able to say no etc.

i have planned to start some online courses (so i would study alone on my own) but i have a loooooong list of abandoned courses :'(

as much as I REALLY LOVE what i'm studying and having fun, i feel like it's so difficult to maintain consistency... do u have a study routine that works for u? maybe time schedule per week or rewards for hours studied? tell me everything!!!!!!

i think the title speaks for itself. my psychologist has been talking about how healthy it would be for my family if my mother started going to therapy but i can't change her mind for ANYTHING 🫠

any tips?
