Being a people pleaser makes my life incredibly hard. I’ve been in therapy for years and have only slightly gotten better at it. Saying no is super hard for me. But I do it because I’d be miserable otherwise.

I am a dog groomer and any groomer knows that you have to have strong boundaries because owners will walk all over if you don’t. But as the holidays are approaching, the owners are stepping their game up even more and im about to lose it. If I say no, that means no. “YoU CaNt sQueEze mE in AnyWhere???” It’s hard enough for me to say no the first time, stop making have to say it again and again cause each time it’s just as hard for me.

Maybe it’s because I understand the pain, but I would NEVER beg or question someone who tells me no, because it’s just fucking rude. I’m sick of it.

Okay rant over, thanks!!
