Why Learning to Disappoint People Helps You Stop People-Pleasing

You have to practice the skill of disappointing people.

If you're always nice,

if you're always people pleasing,

it's not going to get you very far.

Disappointing is a matter of growth.

If you are always afraid of disappointing people,

one, that means you don't find that they're emotionally strong enough for it.

Two, it means that you find yourself so important and vital to their

mental health and through their life that you have to baby walk them,

hold their hand through every single conversation.

Disappointing people is hard because everybody's a recovering people pleaser.

If you're going to people please, at least make sure one of them is you.
