Do you try to make other happy always?

I try to make others smile and feel good during my day. There are people who take their happiness from making others happy. I'm not totally one of those but I enjoy brightening someone's day and making them smile or laugh whenever I can. It's good for the soul to make others happy, though not at the expense of your own happiness.

It is something i try also. but not that I am always able to keep others happy. i guess its not also [ossible always.

I personally feel that happiness is contagious if you remain happy yourself then you are always surrounded by happier people so instead of making others happy I prefer to remain positive in outlook and happier myself and believe me all those who come to me also become happier. As far as your friend is concerned some people feel good when they do good things for others so if she is happy that way it is fine.

Not really but sometimes I also tend to do so. It's hard since you really can't please everybody. That's the reason why I've been trying to live mylife to what I want to be and if there's a way possible while living my own life can make others happy, is a bonus for me.

In some point I fall under what you have described with your friend. I tend to do that in most cases but I recently, I have set limits on myself already and I reevaluate everything as well. In doing or in making others happy, you should also set a limitations on how to make them happy, it is not worth to just dole out everything to them and on the other side you'll suffer. I was there and been there many times but I do whatever I can as long as you won't break my trust in you. I am very much particular with the words you have given me that the same also with promises. Many would say that promises are meant to be broken but that's not in my vocabulary. What I believe is, don't make any promises if you have doubts of fulfilling it or cannot do to achieve just to make the other person happy and pleased. I'd rather hear a not so good news from someone yet honest answer.

One can't live for others ,doing all good things for others. You have to live your life of your own.If somebody is trying to live for others ,then it is the way they make themselves happy.But it is a rare qulity to be with.

The only person I satisfy is MYSELF, this is being self-centred rather than selfish, I have had to be this way my friend for my own sanity and protection and as the saying goes you can please some people some of the time but never all the time! You give people an inch they'll take a mile! It might be because I am an only child but it is important that you live your own life for yourself and you can make the decisions and learn from them rather than letting someone else do it for you or dictate what you should be doing!

I am a person who usually has a habit of trying to make others happy and pleasing people with little time to myself that I could probably use! I was always a people pleaser. I would rather make people happy then someone being angry with me. Of course sometimes I can feel taken advantage of and I know that it is not really fair. I feel like I am like your friend satisfying others and putting my life on the back burner. But I am trying to get better at taking care of my needs.
