When you ask a question like this. Honestly at this point you should start making yourself happy more. Put yourself first some times. If anyone has a problem with that, then they don’t care enough for you.

When you stop living for everyone and live for yourself, and who knows. Maybe living for yourself means making others happy.

If you have the ability to make other people happy, that's a blessing. But if people pleasing become the focus of your life, that can be very emotionally tolling. There's no set point at which you stop making everyone else happy - you've just got to put your boundaries down and start to focus on making yourself happy instead. It won't be an easy process.

You don’t necessarily need to stop making others happy, but you should always prioritize your happiness as well. Don’t put aside your happinesses for the sake of others, for that may not be healthy for you. Always remember to treat yourself every now and then, and feel free to say “No” to people if you’re feeling overwhelmed.

You get to stop making everyone else happy when you are unhappy. It's not okay if you are not happy or if you are going really out of way.

You don't have to make everyone else happy. It's just a nice thing to do, as long as you aren't lying to yourself.

when you decide that this isn't what you want to do anymore - you don't have spend all of your time trying to make others happy; since that could indirectly make you neglect making yourself happy

You need to remember that you can not always please everyone all the time. Sometimes you should not feel afraid to say “no” when you have to and be firm as well as polite when doing it. Do not let anyone control you or take advantage of you. You should also remember try to take care of yourself and love yourself as well. Do not worry, there is nothing selfish in doing that. I have been in this situation before and I learned this is the hard way. I am still working on being firm and assertive.

On the other hand, why would you want to stop making everyone else happy? Is it draining you in the process? Possibly it is because you are not caring enough for your Self. Loving your self and not burning your time and energy over other's well being might help.

You get to stop making everyone else happy whenever you choose to and, especially when making them happy is not ensuring you are happy too. In this world, there is only ONE you - don't burn out putting others ahead of your happiness and wellbeing. At the end of the day, (and as cliche as it sounds) you really can't help others without helping yourself and so whenever you feel like making others happy is hindering your own happiness, then you have a right to make that decision.
