How do you stop people pleasing and start being authentic?
I change my personality depending on who I am with and say yes to everything to avoid conflict. I don't even know who I actually am anymore. How do I stop people pleasing?

Start by noticing when you're about to say yes out of fear vs genuine desire. Pause before responding. Practice saying 'let me think about that' instead of immediate yes.

People pleasing usually comes from fear of rejection or conflict rooted in childhood. Understanding where it comes from helps you choose differently.
