People Pleaser Test Discover If You Put Other’s Needs Ahead Of Yourself

Think you’re a People Pleaser, but not 100% sure that this is you. Well, answer the following twenty questions to discover if you are putting other’s needs ahead of your own. There is a huge difference between being kind and people pleasing so this will help you get some answers. 

When I first discovered I was people pleasing I was a little shocked at my discovery. Here I was an ambitious woman working hard towards my dreams, going against the grain but when I looked a little closer I found that I wasn’t actually going after my dream I was working for others, proving my self-worth and a whole bunch of other real depressing discoveries. Luckily I worked it out because from then I have course-corrected to put my magic back out into the world and it’s changed my life. From moving to Scotland from Australia, to writing a book to growing a thriving online community. I’m living my dream life.

So let’s help you to get there too.
