People Pleaser, isnt me?
Yes, I was a people pleaser. Back then, I felt like putting others’ happiness before mine was a must. Making someone uncomfortable would make me feel extremely guilty.
At that time, I met someone I admired. We became close friends, until one day I made him upset and he gave me the silent treatment. Day by day, it felt increasingly uncomfortable to run into each other at work, making the atmosphere awkward for both of us.
Eventually, I apologized and reflected on what I had done, reminding myself not to repeat it. But aren’t we all human—don’t we all make mistakes and evolve?
Later on, I realized that when he made a mistake, he blamed me entirely without even listening to my point of view. He never explained what exactly upset him—he simply judged.
That was a turning point for me. I realized I have to start prioritizing myself—not selfishly, but in a healthy way.
Pointing out each other’s mistakes isn’t about winning or losing. It’s about being willing to learn, grow, and become better—together.
