I was spending some time with a friend the other night and he intimated that I am a 'people pleaser' - that I want people to like me...and it got me to thinking as these things tend to do.
Aren't we all people pleasers?
Do we ever do anything to make people purposefully "dis"-like us?
I know that I have done things that have resulted in people disliking me - but I do not take this lightly. Sometimes, you just have to do things, make the tough call and hurt someone in the short term so that in the long run - they're much better off. I think this is the thought behind telling someone goodbye when your relationship's come to an end, when it's reached its peak and it's time that you went your separate ways. Yes, it hurts. Yes, it's unfortunate but it still has to be done. And I, I am terrible at that. It's so hard to say goodbye when you know it's going to hurt but it needs to be done to set that person free...is that pleasing people? or am I just looking to please me?
