It’s just advertising for an app. Look at their comments it’s also a bunch of plugs for other apps

I stopped being a people pleaser by omitting paragraphs from everything I type.

".. With one small habit"

Proceeds to write a wall of text without any formatting

Edit: he did format it in the end 🤷

Well. To be fair the lack of formatting does show that he stopped being a people pleaser.

Good God the amount of people getting hung up on the formatting. Yes it’s bad, but be bothered to read it.

Her story resonates with me personally as someone who is struggling to get past this. Good on her for doing the hard things and making her life better!

Well, trying to integrate your environment is a struggle most people face. Being left aside ("forgotten ") is more common than you may think. People pleasing is more about neglecting your own well being in order to make others happy, than fighting for your place. Coming out of it requires that you understand what you are doing and stop doing it because it's healthy, and if you spent your childhood and teen life doing it it's like coming out of an addiction, you don't even process it you just do it as simple as yawning. Anyway good luck on your journey.

Thank you for the book/podcast recommendations! I'm really glad you were able to grow in that way and am working towards that myself.

Once you stop people pleasing some people may leave you because they benefited from you being small. It may feel like the end of the world but it makes room for people that value the real you.

Using AI to format text to make it easier to get your message across is not at all a bad thing, so far you wrote the original text. It’s akin to people complaining about using spellchecker.

This is beautiful and powerfully written

This is poorly written for a “college” graduate. That is the longest paragraph I have seen in quite some time.

u/frogtub112 1d ago

Haters gonna hate. I can’t imagine being so grumpy about formatting that you can’t see the words they’re saying. It’s like writing off someone before they speak based on how they’re dressed. Ridiculous but it is Reddit 😂

Some of us don’t enjoy reading word vomit but to each their own.
