You get to stop making everyone else happy, when you decide you want to stop pleasing everyone else before yourself. In this case you need to learn some healthy boundaries for yourself. Boundaries are very important in any relationship, whether it's with friends, your partner, or your family. Boundaries are important for your own self-esteem and you'll learn a lot about yourself and your needs and desires, what you want and what you don't want in any kind of relationship you have in your life. It doesn't make you a bad person for saying no to someone and setting your own boundaries.

Your goal in life should not be to make others happy, it should be to make yourself happy. You should come first, always. You are the only you there is, so you need to take care of yourself and make sure you are happy. Worrying about others, while nice, should not be your main goal in life. It should be to create something of yourself, it should be to make you happy, to leave the world a better place. Do not put your self worth into how many people you have made happy. Because you aren't worrying about the most important person; you.

The moment you have to stop making everyone else is happy when you start to feel really unhappy and dissatisfied with whatever good deeds you’re doing. It is such an amazing act to be selfless and cares for others more than yourself. To put others first before yourself. To make others happy. The thing is, if you feel very happy while making others happy, good for you! But, life isn’t always like that. Not everybody appreciates you the way yo do towards them. Some people might just want to “use” you for their own benefits, may not be harmful, but definitely not something that you’ll like. Despite being such a wonderful person you are by making everyone happy, you need to remember to love yourself. Say “no” when you don’t want to do something. Don’t feel bad for your decisions. You know yourself best.

When I care for myself and love myself, have good self-esteem and will power, and able to manage my emotions. Should think about myself and be happy. Making everyone else happy is not a wrong thing, but not at the cost of me not being what I want to be. This is not being greedy, but sometimes, I do need to be practical and ensure I take care of myself as well. I need to understand my needs, what I want, how I want to handle my life and go about and cannot please everyone all the time.

Good question, whenever you want. You’re not forced to do anything that you don’t want to it’s completely your choice. But remember to fully help people sometimes you have to help your self first. And that is okay take some time for yourself it is very important to see you better than nothing. And I get that you want to put others before you, just try taking a few minutes out of each day for some time for you. And slowly start to increase it a bit. Find a time that you are comfortable with and stay with that time.

Well that is a very very very good question. I myself have a very bad habit of putting everyone else's happiness before mine. It is a very hard thing to put yourself first. I myself sometimes feel bad when I put myself first,then get mad at myself for putting others first. At some point we have to tell ourselves that it is ok to be happy and make ourselves happy, to put our needs first, to put our happiness first. When we can realize this, this is when we can let ourselves be truly happy first. We can't help anybody else if we can't help ourselves first.

I think the one thing that's the most difficult when trying to find yourself or become who you truly is are, is understanding the fact that you don't need to make everyone else happy. It's isn't a set clear time as to when that happens. It's always a difficult battle between whether I have enough strength to see that if I can make myself happy for me, then the opinions and thoughts that everyone else has of me do not really matter. I think it is very tough to try and get to this point but we all strive for it.

Never I will not ever stop helping people, we are all human and we need to support each other. When I’m going through a tough time, someone is there to help me, so when somebody else needs someone we as humans should be there through thick and thin to help each other. They say we are the most advanced mammal but we are still not there for each other, most of us now are on our phones (blocking the world out) or judging each other which can make our lives worse if you are the victim OR the bully.

(I mean I am not an expert in this situation but still, Here goes.) When you decide to put your happiness first.. it’s important and never make it your option. Make it your priority. It’s not an opportunity that will come to you, but rather it’s a change that you must make yourself. It’s not when you will get to stop but it when you will stop making everyone happy. I hope this message helped you and that maybe I helped you solve your question. I tried as much as I could. Have a nice day/night! It’s was nice talking!

Whenever you want! You are in charge of your own life, so you do what makes YOU happy. Remember, we only live once and once that’s over, it’s over unless you start believing in those theories that we live again and again but in a new body or afterlife. So don’t waste your life trying hard to PLEASE others. Please yourself. Go skydiving. Swim in lava. Try bungee jumping. Get a pilot’s license. Do things that can be done instead of moping around on a couch. Enjoy life, even though its hard. Hope that helped
