Empaths, High Sensitives & 'People Pleasing'

People pleasing is something we witnessed as being a good thing. Most of us have been trained to be so polite that we sacrifice our emotional wellbeing for the sake of courtesy.
Many of us have deeply ingrained religious beliefs about always being 'nice'.
However, what we don't realize is that often times when we say 'yes' to others, instead of 'no', we are saying 'no' to ourselves.
We have been programmed to conform despite our inner discomfort, for fear of rejection, humiliation, and that others won't like us.
Our inability to speak up on our own behalf, and say no, costs us our authentic Self.
Lack of confidence and guilt immobilize us.
We are so busy making everyone else happy that we neglect ourselves, our feelings, and preferences.
It is my belief that we did not come here to conform. We are freedom seeking being, all with unique gifts and talents.
We need to develop the ability to confidently and clearly say 'no' to and love ourselves enough to believe our preferences are worthy of consideration.
