Other peoples opinions


I’ve spent my life worrying about what people think of me and trying to make them like me. I realise it’s caused me loads of unnecessary pain so I’m trying to work on this. But it still feels true that I can make people like me if I try really hard to do things that make them happy. Especially in business I feel like being a people pleaser has given me success, I’ve been offered roles that have moved me up and I’ve always gotten on with colleagues. Unfortunately if something goes wrong then I feel panicked because I think they will think badly of me. Can you help me rethink this to serve me better?
