Do you consider yourself a pushover? Always trying to make everyone else happy?

I voted other. I think sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. I think I'm a pretty good balance now!

In some instances yes. It's pretty easy for people to talk me into doing things...not like drugs or anything lol, but you know, babysitting things like that. On the other hand I do not let myself get taken advantage of...if I know for a fact I can't/won't do something I almost always stand my ground.

I can admit that I use to be but in the last 5 yrs I have come into my own & refuse to try to please everybody all the time-Its important to learn that on your own in your own time & when you do, it feels good-SOOOOOOOOOOOO liberating!:yahoo :yahoo :cp :yes

I am a total pushover but I'm nowhere near as bad as I used to be!

I can be. It depends who it is, how their relationship is with me, and the situation.

I like to make other people happy but I'm in no way a pushover.

I chose other, cause I think when it comes to me, I am, but when it comes to my son, or my Dh I am not. I am completly oposite.. Hugs and Kisses Nikki

It depends on who it is. There are a few people that I will do anything to make them happy. Others...it depends on the situation. lol.

Honestly, it depends on what kind of mood I'm in and who's asking. I'm pretty easy going and usually agree to do things if I'm in a good mood, but if I'm in a bad mood the answer is always no.

I try to make everyone happy, but only if I can do so on my own terms - such as having the time, or being able to make the time or whatever it is that I need to do. If it's possible then, yes. I won't strive for the impossible though, I know my limits. I'm out and out selfish from time to time too.

Not anymore. After being used so many times, enough is enough. If someone doesn't like it then too bad, so sad.

Well, I am working on not being a pushover. When it comes to my kids, HELL to the NO I am not a pushover! Its my way or no way. With making others happy, it just depends. I have always been one to make everyone else happy before making myself happy. Now that train of thought has changed and I make myself happy first. SO I think I am coming out of being a pushover.

When in our first year of going out I was totally a push over. But now I've toughened up and am ready to face the music!
