signs that you may be a people-pleaser

signs that you may be a people-pleaser

These come from Lou Priolo’s book:

I go fishing for compliments.

I value the approval of certain individuals from whom I expect to receive certain honors more than the approval of others from whom I expect not to receive such honors.

I worry about what people think of me.

I am willing to sin rather than face the rejection of certain individuals.

I avoid conflicts rather than trying to resolve them.

I forget that being rejected by others is a part of the suffering for righteousness sake that is my reasonable service to God and a part of my calling as a Christian.

I long to be noticed more than I long to be godly.

I give in to peer pressure rather than standing up to what is right.

I do not witness to others as I should due to my fear of being criticized or rejected.
