It’s hard not to want external validation. After all, the rush of serotonin we feel after getting praised for something is too good to resist. Still, some people take this too far—while it’s normal to want to be adored by everyone, they become slaves to pleasing others, suppressing their thoughts and personalities to be likeable. You’ll never know if what they say is how they really feel—they might just be telling you what they think you want to hear!

These zodiac signs are the biggest people pleasers:
Libra
As a diplomatic sign that tries to see the good in every situation, Libras will always justify hiding their real personalities to please everyone else. They hate hurting anyone’s feelings or risking any bad blood, observes YourTango, so they’d rather suck it up and try to get over any irritation they’re feeling. They’re terrified of conflict, so they’ll be the last person to stand up for themselves—even when they’re on the last thread of their patience.
Cancer
Cancers have a hard time letting go when it means potentially falling into someone’s blocked list. They tend to hold onto their exes and ex-friends, even when it gets far too toxic, notes YourTango. They’re terrified of looking like the bad guy—or having any negative reputation at all—so they want to smooth things over when they need time and distance away. As a very caring and attached sign, they’re willing to put themselves in the line of fire for their relationships.
Taurus
Extremely considerate and caring, Tauruses sometimes take this too far and end up hurting themselves, says YourTango. They tend to make decisions based on what’s best for everyone—not including themselves. While they sometimes brush this off as being polite or respectful of everyone else, it’s really because they’re afraid to rock the boat and create tension when there previously wasn’t any. The hard truth is that the longer a Taurus ignores something brewing in front of them, the more it’ll boil inside them—and eventually, they’ll explode.
