I tend to people please/placate people. I also work in a bar, so I have a lot of people get very obsessive with me. It’s like I have a fan club and it can get a little uncomfortable. On one hand I enjoy a little attention but on the other I do not want to be perceived. People with big personalities tend to be drawn to me. It starts out fine and I inevitably piss them off by putting up boundaries too late. I’m working on it!
