Hello..I'm 36 and have suffered the last 10 years with my need to please others and win over the approval of people that I associate with on all levels. I was once a person who was known as the "no fucks given" type. Got married, had kids and somewhere along the way, I changed. I feel really bad about myself as I'm always worried about how others think of me (do they hate me, did I piss them off, are they happy with their relationship with me) to the point that I don't function normally and I'm suffering from not taking care of myself.
Any advice in this area would be appreciated. If you have been through this and found a way to stop being a doormat and taking better care of you, please let me know how.
Thanks!
