There is absolutely nothing wrong with people pleasing. just make sure the only people you are people pleasing are people that can benefit your life and help you. If someone cant improve your life there is no need to people please them

Whatever you are doing and you are using wisdom, don't shake. unless you are doing it without applying wisdom before snare can be able to catch you if someone try to deal with you.

Especially Nigerians.

Nigerians have suffered so much that once they see a kind person, the default setting is to extort and exploit that individual to the fullest.

It's a vicious survival instinct that is very prominent amongst a poverty-stricken populous.

Yes, servility (people-pleasing) is bad, but opportunism is worse than it; even self-absorption is worse than it too. Actions and inactions of an opportunist are always more pernicious than that of a servile person.

Conscientiousness is standard.

Yes to all 6.

Only please the people who are pleasing you. It's not everyone that deserves princely treatment.

Don't trust anyone, unless they earned your trust and are always reasonable to be trusted.

Habits you should stop doing immediately

Stop pleasing everyone. Follow your own convictions, NOT what others expect from you.
Stop pampering yourself. Growth is found OUTSIDE your comfort zone.

Stop being distracted. We are the most distracted generation in history. No FOCUS, no results.

Stop relying on others. Your mama won’t save you anymore. NOTHING is free in life. Take accountability for your future.

Stop expecting instant satisfaction. Patience, PERSISTENCE and perspiration are your best friends.

Stop relying on motivation to act. Create the daily HABITS that will lead to achieving your goals.

Stop abusing your body. Eat HEALTHY, and you will look healthy, feel healthy and think healthily. Eat junk and you will feel like junk.

Stop surrounding yourself with negative people. We can’t change people, but we CAN change the people that we surround ourselves with.
Stop resisting change. Staying stuck in the past has PAINFUL consequences.

Stop fearing failure. If you are not failing, you are not trying HARD enough.
great

Say hello to the bumpkins who brought you into this world. Unfortunately, your frustration here is a true reflection of their failure, thus the reason why simple and everyday words appeared too big for you to comprehend and accept. Meanwhile, direct your further mention to your small-minded ilk here. Imp.

It has nothing to do with suffering and isn't survival instinct.... it's cruelty of the negros.... there are other ways to survive....

You've got a point there... but Nigerians are particularly notorious for this shiit
