The Guilt of Saying No: How I Overcame People-Pleasing and Found Freedom
For years, I struggled with people-pleasing—saying “yes” when I wanted to say “no,” fearing conflict, and seeking validation through self-sacrifice. Over time, this led to emotional exhaustion and resentment, making me realise that constantly prioritising others was costing me my own well-being.
In this blog, I explore the roots of people-pleasing, the emotional toll it takes, and the strategies I used to break free. From setting healthy boundaries to challenging negative thought patterns, I share my journey towards self-worth and balance. If you’ve ever felt trapped in this cycle, this post is for you.
