‘Thank You For Understanding’: How To Stop People Pleasing This Holiday Season

Engaging In Every Conversation
One reason the holiday season can leave people pleasers so exhausted is all of the small talk. You’re thrown into so many conversations – expected and unexpected – that cause you stress or fatigue. But you aren’t entitled to engage in every topic. If people get into a political debate that upsets you, you can excuse yourself. If someone asks you about something you don’t want to discuss, you can say, “I’d rather not talk about that right now.” Create conversational boundaries because the information you share and consume affects your energy levels.
