There are only two kind of persons in this world, those that makes us happy and those that teaches us lessons in life! Gautama Buddha

Totally agree with the image. The moment I see someone’s true colors emerge, I take a step back and stay back. There’s no need to peek any further under their veils. These people are NOT who they’ve been portraying themselves to be, and that’s all I (and you) need to know.

The thing is, the narcissist IS Sisyphus. Always seeking the next form of supply but ALWAYS being disappointed.

Having that quality shouldn't be classified as people pleasing. Some are determined by loyalty to find new solutions especially in peace keeping. Very different. Learning then a preplanned offense works for me. Gray rocking is one. Realizing loyalty isn't respected up there as well.

Obviously yeah I'm already noticing dangerous crazy manipulative bastards around me,after I had to deal with toxic people who were insane enough to push me that far even though I've done as much wrong as they did I still didn't deserved that type of treatment from that B.S. I know if my gut tells me that there's something wrong then I'd try to listen when I'm being warned about a person who's out to tare me down....noticing a toxic fool under a mask ain't easy I guess when your too nice and too clueless you wouldn't see it coming wants it happens I feel terrible for victims that gotta deal with those psychopaths everywhere it ain't right no deserves to be sabotaged I don't care how right ,or how smart you are, if you screw with the wrong people if you get caught, trying to set someone up or make them look awful then you'll be the one going on after exposing your self.

I'm afraid the promised download doesn't materialise when you submit your details. Instead it takes you to a workbook on gaslighting phrases not people pleasing !

Common Ego
Have you ever heard of the Myth of Sisyphus?
Sisyphus was a cunning and deceitful king. As punishment, he was condemned to an eternity spent trying to push a boulder over the summit of a mountain.
But here’s the clincher…
JUST when he was about to reach the summit, he’d lose grasp of the boulder and it would roll all the way back down to the bottom of the hill.
And he had to start all over again.
Each time… hoping that he would make it.
Each time… JUST falling short
Does this story remind you of anything?
If you’ve ever tried to make a narcissist happy, you’ve been rolling that boulder uphill – only to watch it fall back down. Every. Single. Time.
People pleasers are very likely to end up in relationships with narcissists because narcissists need someone to believe that boulder can reach the summit.
The narcissist needs someone to believe that they can be happy.
But if you’ve been through it, you probably realize that making a narcissist happy is about as possible a feat as Sisyphus summiting the mountain.
It's a never-ending cycle of trying to please them, hoping for their approval or love, and then feeling drained and unappreciated. But here’s the difference.
Sisyphus deserved his punishment. YOU DO NOT!
And that's why I want to offer you something that can make a real difference.
It's a FREE workbook is designed to help you understand where you stand on the people-pleasing scale and, most importantly, how to put an end to those draining habits. www.commonego.com/peoplepleasing
