10 Signs You’re Trying Too Hard To Please Others
5 You don’t say when you’ve been hurt
You put a lot of pressure on yourself by constantly trying to make others happy. You try to hide your negative emotions so they won’t bother other people. You put on a happy face and say you don’t feel sad, angry, or upset about something. This can make it, so you don’t know what you’re feeling anymore.
Acknowledging your feelings is necessary. Hiding them can put a lot of stress on your body and result in unhealthy consequences. Caring for yourself is just as important as caring for other people. Be kind to yourself and pay attention to yourself and your feelings.

6 The bad feelings of others affect you
There’s nothing wrong with trying to avoid a fight by making it seem like a joke. But people who always want to make others happy can’t handle any unhappiness, even if it has nothing to do with them. People-pleasers can take the bad feelings of those around them as a sign that they, too, are making other people unhappy. People pleasers will take the blame and come up with solutions that will make others happy to change the situation.
It’s important to know that conflicts can sometimes be good and can’t be avoided. It gives people a chance to say what they want and talk about the things that bother them. It’s not healthy to hold back your feelings or the feelings of others because we all need to let off steam sometimes.

7 You think you have to take care of how other people feel
You always seem to pick up on your friends’ and family’s feelings and mood changes, which makes you worry. During stressful times, you might even blame yourself for not being able to calm someone down and make them happy. The truth is that it’s up to each person to take charge of their own feelings.
Use empathic assertion to understand how others feel and what they want, but then you make a strong statement. For example: “I understand why you’re mad, but all I can do right now is stand by your side.”
