Trying too hard to not try

I’ve always been a people pleaser and one of those people that is completely unable to say no to favors and requests.  Most times it’s caused me some personal grief and stress.

I know I need to make myself happy before I can truly make anyone else happy.  So I’m trying to give myself more attention here lately.

So far it is NOT working out well at all.  The last couple people I’ve said no to are now horribly upset at me, and I’m not handling that fact very well.  So now, in trying to please myself, I’ve only made myself more miserable.

What the hell do I do now?
