Do we spend too much time pleasing others instead of spending time with ourselves? I don’t think that anyone could ever spend too much time trying to please others. But it depends mainly on the person. If someone is a kind person and it gives them pleasure trying to please other people, I don’t think that person would worry too much about spending time with them self. But if a person is kind but wants to set time away to keep to her/himself, it’s not a bad thing.
Pleasing others gives you a good “look.” When you help other people and make other people happy, you will be known as a kind and gracious person and will probably end up having time to yourself. When you lend a helping hand and people recognize you for that, they will know that sometimes you might actually need a break and might actually need some time to rest.
Personally, I don’t think I spend too much time pleasing others. I love to help other people with their struggles, problems, or worries and I know quite a few people that need that kind of comfort. But sometimes I really do need some time to myself. Although sometimes I really do need time to myself, I still want to help other people. But it doesn’t mean I spend too much time pleasing others.
I have to say I do spend more time on myself than others, but it’s natural. But, I do know people that spend almost all of their time pleasing others. I try and help; some people like to have someone help them out, but some people just like to help others all on their own. So if people want to please others and do not want help doing it, they are pleasing themselves as well. People feel somewhat rewarded when they spend most of their time pleasing others. Again, it all depends on the person.
