Do you confuse being a people pleaser as kindness? This may stem from your lack of self-confidence - driven by fear. The fear of not being liked, the fear of hurting others, the fear of disappointing others and the fear of being seen as unkind and selfish. Does this fear trigger you to act in a way that moulds your behaviour to the expectations others have of you? Being a people pleaser is a draining behaviour and is very exhausting. 

How do you stop going out of your way and being too nice to others at the expense of your happiness and mental health? 

Listen to this Happy Like Buddha episode with Adewale Adejumo to learn why you are a people pleaser and how to stop it.
