You can't please everyone. You are the most important person so put yourself first. Doesn't mean you are selfish to do this.
First, you should make yourself happy first and foremost. And then everything else will fall into place. There is a quote that says, " To thine own self be true",
it's impossible
You will never make everyone happy. You are supposed to make yourself happy. Stop worrying about other people, b/c I assure you they aren't worried about YOU.
If you don't look after yourself, no one else will.
well i put everyone first because i'm selfish and i need to feel good that i make others feel good but then again i do break down from time to time. just do wuts natural!
why would you want to do that for?
are the people around you not able to look after them selfs
sounds as if they may be useless and not worth bothering about
Its impossible to make everyone happy. All you can do is live your life the best way you know how, do the right thing and treat others the way you want to be treated. The rest will take care of itself.
don't try to keep everyone happy. just yourself. if you try to make other people happy you actually come across as a codependent control freak (think about it you are trying to control their feelings). Let people have all their own feelings even if they are sad or mad or happy it is ok. Not your problem. Your feelings are your problem. Stop trying to please others. Seek to please yourself. start by taking yoga.
No one can do this.
It is a classic path to self destruction.
You must take care of yrself, because if your health, physical, mental, or both fail, you can help no one, not even yourself.
Pick your spots, and let other things go. Someone else will have to carry that weight.
You got to make yourself happy first. If you spend more time on everyone else then you may end up destroying yourself. I guess try to find a happy medium.
Jesus couldn't do it, and He was perfect. How do you think you can do it? It's impossible.
Easy, send everybody a bouquet with a card "Just Thinking About You." Then, don't expect anything in return. Don't even ask any of the recipients if they received your flowers. When you give your love. believe me, it is received. Your Karma is what's important. P.S. If you can't send bouquets. send a single yellow rose, or anything yellow which signifies "FRIENDSHIP."
It's impossible. Don't be a doormat.
hard as it sounds..learn to say no.you cannot complete everone nor should you feel as though should
You can't, Do what makes you happy!
First U must not worry of the small stuff and make sure u are happt with ur life before u r 2 worry of what others have to worry of, so just keep it simple and enjoy life to the fullist.
you cant. Make sure your happy first, the rest will follow.
If you have children or a husband its just as important that you do all you can to make sure that they are happy and well taken care of.
Everyone else can take care of themselves.
there is no way to keep everybody happy. as a matter of fact, i had a therapist tell me to start thinking more about myself because i was being pulled in so many different directions, it was tearing me apart inside. try making yourself happy for a while and you will find ways to make others happier. :-)
SET LIMITS. This is very important, if you are being stretched over your limits, learn to say no and just tell them you can't do what ever they are asking of you. There is no need to put yourself out on a health limb for anyone. Do what you can within your limits and then take care of you. I don't know what your details are, but this is my general thought.

Not everyone will always be happy. I don't think that's happened with my friends either. Thing is plan things you all can do together. A movie or something but if some friends don't get along take them at different times. Always be nice and if you start to feel pressured just back out of the lime light for a bit and things will continue on without you! If someone is ever feeling down you can talk to them and try to cheer them up but that's all you really can do!

Take care of yourself first. Sometimes you can't please everyone and that's ok. Seeking approval for validation will lead to a poor sense of self.Set up reasonable boundaries. No is always an option and you cannot be responsible for someone else's negative response.Treat yourself on a regular basis. You cannot love others if you don't love yourself. Teach others how to treat you. Co-dependent behaviour can change. Being selfish is not necessarily a negative thing. Moderation is practical and helpful to keep you happy and others sometimes change by your example alone. Good luck. You are a good person. You deserve to be happy too.
Maybe it's not your job to keep everyone else happy. Sometimes you just got to say to hell with everybody else and concentrate on your own happiness.
