i've always tried to please everyone, like i can't say "no." i'm trying to be more honest with people but i end up feeling even more guilty turning people down for right reasons than stressing for the wrong ones. i'm not blowing people off! isn't it supposed to be easier when it's genuine?

Yes, yes, I know, another comment from someone you don't really know, but I thought I'd still say something anyway...
I have the same kinda of confusion, in regards to both saying "no" or even "yes" at times. As I try to work on becoming a better person I wonder what that really involves - to give up everything you want to serve everyone else or to start doing stuff for myself instead of always for the joy of others? I wish I had an answer, but I don't. I'll let you know if I figure out a "cure" for this too. -Katy

this pertains not to this post

just thought I let you know this exists.

"No" is a good word. Why else would it be one of the few constants (aside from "Ma") in nearly all languages?

I think we all know by now that you are a genuine person in all your doings, and if I ever put you in a place of discomfort for saying "no" to something like hanging out, I apologize, cuz that's selfish of me.

Much respect to ya.

I think that what makes you genuine is that you feel bad for turning people down. If you didn't feel guilty that would make you not human. Plus, I think people just aren't used to hearing the word 'no' in America all that often. So, stick it to 'em.

PS-I like your picture

I have the same problem. I have been designated a "people pleaser" I don't know how many people tell me I am too nice. Well, I am trying to not be so pleasant, not in a rude manner or anything like that, it is just that I either burn myself out, or end up doing all kinds of things that arent' good for me
