You Can't Please Everyone, Do What You Feel Is Right

[Ravenfreak]

This is something I need to work on myself, I don't like confrontation and try to get along with everyone especially at work. Not everyone is going to approve of your way of living, or your way of thinking. We're all different, and it's fine to find others who are similar to you, but at the end of the day if someone doesn't like you then it's best to move on. I also feel that you should do what you feel is right, as long as you're not hurting yourself or others. Remember, you can't please everyone, it's impossible.

That's right this is what I tell myself all the time. I would just do me and I know the world would adjust when they are ready.

It is an illusion to think that you can please everyone. You would end up getting depressed trying to seek validation by impressing others. Do what makes you happy. Try and make your family happy too if possible. But you are the priority in all your dealings.

This is something my granny always tell me. It’s not possible to please any other person apart from yourself. So just be wake do what you feel is right.

We cannot please everyone, therefore, changing ourselves to please other people is not a viable solution to calm the situation or make up for a relationship. We need to do what we feel is right, even when someone might not he happy with what we say or do. We cannot be right always but changing ourselves just to please other people will make us more miserable.

I’ve learned that I can’t please everyone, no matter how hard I try. People have different opinions, expectations, and preferences. What works for one person may not work for another. I focus on doing what feels right for me, staying true to my values, and trusting my instincts, even if it means disappointing some along the way.

This is something that I realised long back, when despite going to great lengths to please people, I still received bitter criticism that made me cry a lot. Tired of the daily pain, I decided to listen to everyone's advice but do what I found best suited me. Surprisingly, I realised that people actually started respecting me for my individuality and stopped denigrating me unnecessarily.

That’s true, it's impossible to please everyone. However, it's common to try, especially when it comes to people you look up to or care about. The desire for approval can sometimes overshadow what feels right for you. But staying true to your values brings long-term peace.

It is practically impossible to please everyone. In that case, we need to prioritize our own values and happiness and do what we feel is right for us. That is what I’ve learnt to do and it gives me self-confidence.

Even if you bend your back for people to walk on, there would be one person that would say that you didn't bend low enough. Just learn to forget about people in this life and just do what you think is right in your conscience.

You're right @Ravenfreak you cannot please everyone and so I agree you should do what feels right for YOU.

Some people will never be please, and some people thrive on being miserable so it's impossible to make everyone around you happy. Though you should consider other people's emotions and feelings you shouldn't make your decisions solely based on how others feel. This is your life, you have to make your own decisions and sometimes that means stepping on some toes or going against what someone advises. It's good to consider what others are saying but ultimately this is YOUR life, so you need to do what's best for you and your loved ones.

The biggest mistake anyone would make is to try and please someone else cause the truth of the matter is that you can never please anyone. No matter what you do, people would still find one fault or the other.
