For a long time, I didn’t think of myself as a people pleaser; I thought of myself as a rule-follower, a “nice” person, a “hard worker” and “initiative-taker.” 

Basically, I used to think of myself as synonymous with a “people pleaser” but never thought about it as having negative connotations or consequences.

I just saw myself as a hard worker and someone who really “rose through the ranks” because of it. I gave that person's pleasing side of me so much credit for my success without really evaluating the consequences.  

I never spoke back, but that also meant I never stood up for myself.

I always followed the rules, but never questioned them.

And anytime that I did something wrong, or disappointed myself, I would beat myself up more than anyone around me because of my own internal standards. 

This was especially prevalent when I was in my 20s and younger in my career because I didn’t really know how to manage this “people-pleasing” side of me. However, as I’ve grown in my late twenties and really evaluated what success means to me, I see that this has come with a lot of consequences that I’ve had to learn to manage.

So today I wanted to talk about the 3 career struggles all people pleasers face in their careers….let’s get started!
