Re: How do you become less of a people pleaser /doormat

I know this advice sounds ridiculous, but pretend to be it, and you will actually become it. I pretended to be that confident type who didn't give a shit about what anyone thought of her, and not long ago I realized I wasn't pretending anymore. I really had become that girl.

It was weird, because most of my life I was a VERY insecure, shy girl. It would cause me insane amounts of anxiety to ask for directions, or call up the pizza place. I had an emotional breakdown once when someone asked me to go up onstage once. But now I'm that person everyone asks to go up to someone to ask a question. I'm really open with new people. I'm active in class and new groups. And I just... stop freaking out about what people think of me.

So for you... do you love any character in fiction that's really a hardass or just really strong-willed? If so, maybe just copy them for a little while. Pretend to be in their shoes. Imagine how they would respond to the situation you're in. And maybe eventually you'll find yourself being more like them.

That's a new way of looking at it.

I know one character that is really willful and perseverant, and she probably wouldn't crumble if someone was being petty and rude to her.

I'll try to do it that way. Thanks, that really helps. :)
