Will I be self-deprecating myself by emphasizing my opinions? What if my view does not match with the majority? What if I end up rocking the boat? Will my opinion be addressed with contemptuous mockery? Will I be tossed aside if I do not have an agreeing personality? These are all sorts of thoughts that rumble in the mind of a people pleaser. Agreeing with people because you truly like something that they are talking about means that you are sharing your view which coincidentally matches with others. However, acquiescing with them over everything is a way of showcasing yourself as a cowardly person who is unable to take his/her own stand. It is a way of expressing your superfluous people pleasing personality. Imagine a scenario. You go out for shopping with two of your friends- one who is straight forward and voices his/her opinion and the other who is over agreeing. Whenever you want to make a decision before purchasing anything, you will certainly head forward towards the one who gives true opinions, rather than towards the one who is a people pleaser. So basically, the one who is a people pleaser gets overlooked. This is just one example of the many consequences that arise in the life of a people pleaser. Being a people pleaser is no good. People like it when they have a company to support them and agree with them, but when they recognize that a person is over agreeing and says 'Yes!' and 'Wow, that's nice' to everything, even to things that are clearly appalling rather than appealing, people start feeling infuriated with them. People pleasing attitude is highly likely to prevent probable chaos or disputes in many circumstances, but it is equally likely create an abusive atmosphere for the person who people-pleases. People pleasers are usually unpersuasive and find it difficult to say no to others. So due to this they end up being exploited, killing their identity, shrouding their existence, and gradually increasing their cowardice. Therefore, pleasing people, with unconditional positivity, is rightly termed as a self-destructive cooperation. Moreover, being a people pleaser has serious negative impacts in many professional fields as well. An entrepreneur will never be able to succeed if he is unconditionally positive or people pleasing. Not firing a worthless employee or not meticulously pointing out flaws of the employees for the sake of pleasing them would be a sign of foolishness on the part of the entrepreneur. Same is the case with any manager. If he wants to attain the set goal of proper execution, then trying to please his coworkers or team members every time is not possible. In addition to these, if an employee of a company does not voice out his opinion and acquiesces to his boss in every decision, then the boss will probably not like him. This is so because people are attracted to confident individuals having their own opinions rather than slave-like people who are just there to please them. Not only in the case entrepreneurs or managers or employees, this is true in most of lines of work, even if not in every situation. To sum up, in the quest of pleasing people, a people pleaser gives up on his opinion. However, that isn't of any use. That way, he will just end up deprecating his own value and disadvantaging others directly or indirectly. Unknowingly, he will ultimately be weaving himself up in such a way that untying will be extremely difficult. Therefore, people should help others take the right decision and get to the right destination by assisting them with authentic opinions rather than holding them static in an erroneous situation just for the sake of pleasing them for an instant. They might be unaware of their flaws; they should be assisted to recognize their flaws in either a straight forward or a diplomatic manner. Do not be afraid of their momentary anger by voicing out opinions that do not match with theirs. If you give genuine opinions and help them take right decisions rather than faking them for their momentary happiness, they will ultimately thank you. So, speak the truth and give your opinions. It might result in a cold war for a time, but in the end you will help define your existence and your identity. Follow your opinions. Do not be driven by others but take the lead and share your beliefs. Finally, a quote by Ed Sheeran, "I can’t tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone."
