I have heard you talk on this before, worked on it, forgot it, and really appreciate the reminder. I love giving to others, not to be liked, but to give. I tend to give until I am all given out, then I become frustrated with myself. I will work on a balance. Thanks again for the tip. Andy – thanks again for the tip.

Wow, it is hard to say "no", isn't it? The desire to be liked, to "fit in" (whatever that means), does not disappear when we leave our teens behind and enter "adulthood." I particularly have a hard time saying no at church. I feel guilty when I can't do whatever it is that I'm asked to do. Not because I'm not "serving the Lord," but because I, one, want to be liked, and two, like it when I'm recognized. Man, that just looks ugly when it's written out like that. But I'm learning to say "no." Thanks!

For me the people pleasing element comes from wanting to be liked, from insecurity. It is a struggle to just be obedient to the Lord and and not worry about the opinions of others. Peace.
