People pleaser

I have slowly over the years realized that I am people-pleaser with an eating disorder. Reminds me just how much I've tried to please others or feel sorry for them in the past. Countless times I put the needs of others before my own and sadly, the more giving I do; the less I seem to get in return. Many times I feel the happiness of others is more important than my own and that the happiness of others creates mine.

I need to stop doing this: compassion is one thing but feeling as though you others a huge debt or need to solve their problems on the spot is a bad way to think. I got this from my family growing up: parents were not mature emotionally and I felt I needed to fix them all the time or come to their aid when they hit rough spots.

I need to take much greater care of myself, move on, stop trying to please others. Try to just be a good friend.
