第一节 阅读理解
①Do you find it hard to say "no" when someone asks you for help? Do you feel sorry when you have to tell people that you really can't help them? And do you often pretend to agree with people even though you think differently? If you answered "yes" to these questions, you may be a "people-pleaser".
②Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build friendships. However, trying to please others without thinking about your own happiness can make you stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a "people-pleaser".
③To start with, it's important to know your limits in your life. Be clear about what you want to do. You can also tell others you are only free for a certain period of time.
④When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this? How much time will it take? By giving yourself some time to think, you'll be better able to truly decide if it's something you have the interest and time to do.
⑤People always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They don't think about their own needs and interests. In this situation, you can try meaningful self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams too. You don't have to waste your time to do things that don't bring you joy.
⑥Making a sudden change can be hard, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, send a message to say "no". Then, continue to say "no" face to face. Practise this in different kinds of situations, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant.
⑦Stopping being a "people-pleaser" doesn't mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things, but on your own situation.
