「2025江苏镇江期中」
Do you find it hard to say “ no ” whenever someone comes to you for help?Do you feel sorry when you have to tell people that you really can't help them?And do you often say “ yes ” while your real answer is “ no "?If you answered
“ yes ",you may be a people-please r.Being
friendly and helpful is a good thing.However,
going too far can make you feel stressed.Luckily,
there are some steps that you can take to stop
being a people-pl lease r..
To start with,it's important to know your
limits and create boundaries(界限)in your life.
Be clear about what you really like to do.You can
also tell others what time you are free.They can
only come to you at that time.
Some people try to please others because they
have little confidence in themselves.In this case,
you can try positive(积极的)self-talk.Remind
yourself that you have dreams too.You don't have
to give away your time and energy to do things
that don't bring you joy.
Making a sudden change can be hard,so start
by taking small steps.You may,for example,try
to say “ no ” when you talk with people online
first.Then,work your way up to saying no in
person.Practice this in different situations,such
as talking to a salesperson or ordering food at a
restaurant.Then try refusing your friends or
relatives.
Stopping being a people-please r doesn't mean
you have to give up being kind and helpful.You
can still do good things.After all, pleasing
yourself is much more important t than pleasing
others.
