There goes that girl who is willing to help youuuuuu!

She never says no or backs down for a project.

They say she is kind and helpful! That one time she helped this old small lady get her cat from the tree. This made her late for her exam at the university.

She agreed to so many things she lost track.

She’s starting to lose herself completely.

Some people may call her people pleaser instead of her real name.

Oh, there goes people, pleaser,” Let’s ask her for help.”

The people-pleaser girl is so loving and caring. She never says no and she never seems to hesitate. She seemed to be busy yesterday but aunt Hilda wanted help baking lemon cake. She couldn’t decline so she more than gladly said, “Sure, what time?”

This girl is slowly losing herself. Which is clear and nobody can see due to their own needs.

There she goes again trying to please her neighbor.

She seems so beautiful in every way. The people think they got her figured out they say, “ Aside from being such a people pleaser she also seems to be very quiet and tends to agree to everything”

Who is this girl? Who is she really like? Nobody knows because she seems like the moon hiding her dark side.

There goes the people pleaser! Where is she going this time? Has she completely lost herself? Has she taken up someone else's personality? Well, this girl better speak up for herself or no one else will because nobody has a heart like hers.

The thing nobody knows she lays in bed curled up crying herself to sleep thinking of a girl she could be.

In the end, this is who she is and this is what she’s stuck with. So, in the end, she’ll help you unclog your toilet.

There goes the people pleaser, and she is on her way to babysit as she promised her dear friend and it’s okay with doing it for free. That’s just how far her kindness goes… she never seems to ask for anything in return.

Quiet like a mouse she tends to agree to whatever you say because she does not wish to upset anyone.

Yesterday a lonely lady saw her walking with tears down her cheeks with her earbuds plugged in. The lonely lady must have thought she was listening to something dreadfully sad. In the end, she is a people pleaser trying to get out of her cage and she is writing this story!
