The simple answer: whenever you stop.
The reality: never, assuming no abuse is happening. You always have to make another person happy, your parent(s) (or other people in charge of you,) your boss, or significant other. You can't skate on by without making others happy. The question is: when do you get to focus on yourself? You have to do what makes you happy.
Example:
Say your sister is having a rough time at work and so are you, but she needs to talk about it. It is ALWAYS about her. Let her talk and THEN CALMLY tell her, 'do you realize you always talk about yourself. You never let me talk about whats going on in my life.' Your happy because you got to tell her how she is treating you. Yet you still did a good thing.

When you decide to love yourself and realise that you are your number one priority. This is the most important thing in life, to put yourself first. It’s the key to happiness. You have to be happy yourself before you can even focus on making anyone else happy because you need yourself to be healthy enough to even help anyone else. You get to stop making everyone else happy when you decide to, you can do it right now. Shift your focus from them to yourself. Believe me when I say that your happiness is the best and most important thing in your life. It’s the best thing you can ever have and a lot of us don’t have it these days because we don’t realise that we have to take time to care for ourselves. We get caught up in everyone else around us because this world is a social one and humans are social creatures that tend to lack self care, self love and self happiness. Make a change now, look after yourself before you look after others

Right now dear! Your first priority is you , and you don't have a duty to make everyone happy . Just remember we are not capable of making others happy it depends on them all we can do is be kind to them and don't hurt yourself cuz of others . You are as important as they are so never think less of yourself it's okay to be selfish at times and to think about yourself but don't intentionally hurt someone . Always be kind to others and yourself in this world the only person who stays with us is 'us' . So love yourself and be proud of yourself â£ï¸ .

Ask yourself ,what makes you question yourself to stop making everyone else happy ? Then think of your answer, maybe write it down somewhere ? Re read and re think again, remind yourself why is it important for yourself to keep yourself first and not go to extra miles to make everyone happy, as that really isn't your job and can be so draining to keep upbeat with everyone else's moods . And then you got your answer,NOW is the time, you gotta stop doing things that affect you ,make you feel used, and make you feel not happy! â¤

It starts happening when you just start feeling you self as happy. One great personality has said that "There is only one place where persona can make the change & i.e. in his/her on self ". Just don't try to change any one start accepting each person as it as, as they are. You cannot make happy to every single person but you can yourself & if you are happy then all people around you will also feel happy.

Right now. You can't make everyone happy. And even if you could, you didn't have to. Because you deserve to be happy too. Try to let go of what is out of your control and focus on your own happiness.

When you decide that your happiness is just as important as theirs, if not more. Be there for you first.

Honestly, you don't. Your whole life is based on how you treat others. As long as their idea of happiness isn't damaging to you or anyone else, you should do what you can to fulfill it. Not trying to call you selfish. It's just a thought.
