Stop Being a People-Pleaser
Do you often agree to help classmates with their homework even when you haven't finished your own? And do you always pretend to like the same music or games as your friends, even if you'd rather do something else? 1
Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships and create a warm class community. 2 Luckily, there are some simple steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser.
To start with, it's important to know your limits and create “boundaries（边界）” in your school life. You can tell others that you are only available to help during break time or after you finish your own tasks. 3 Use this time to ask yourself: Do I really want to help them copy homework, even though it's against the rules? By giving yourself a moment's pause（停顿）, you'll be better able to decide if it's something you want to do.
4 They often worry that saying “no” will make others dislike them, so they put everyone else's needs before their own. In this case, you can try positive self-talk. Remind yourself that you have your own goals, too. You don't have to give away your study time or energy to do things that don't bring you joy.
Making a sudden change can be hard, so start by taking small steps. You may, for example, politely refuse to help a classmate cheat by saying, “I can't let you copy my homework, but I can explain the problem to you after class.” Then, work your way up to saying no to a friend who asks you to skip your after-school study group to hang out. 5
Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn't mean you have to give up being kind and helpful altogether. You can still help your classmates with their studies or join group activities—but on your own terms.
A. Practice those in different school situations, and you'll find it gets easier over time.
B. It is important to keep good relationships with people around you.
C. If you answered yes to these questi
ns, you may be a “people-pleaser”.
D. When someone asks you for help, tell him that you need time to think about it.
E. Some people try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves.
F. However, trying to please others at the cost of your own grades is not worth.
