Legalese for People Pleasers

Protecting yourself from yourself

I suffer from a chronic illness. Approvitis nervosa.

But you might know it better by its common name: People Pleasing.

Symptoms include inflammation of the approval-seeking nerve. Overproduction of compliments, inflammation of the “yes” reflex, compulsive apologising.

I’ve tried it all. Therapy, ghosting, and simmering resentment. Nothing works.

For people like me, frustration, conflict and panic are never far away.

One day, after another work drinks I didn’t want to go to, I was at the end of my rope.

I cried out to the universe for a way to say no without actually having to say no.

Then it hit me.

Legalese. The language made to say things people don’t want to hear. I got to work.

Now, after years of research and experience on the tools, Legalese for People Pleasers™ is ready.

And I want you to use it too.

I suggest adding it to group chats, work emails, letters, or voicemail message.

Here we go:

Disclaimer: The anecdotes, opinions, and niceties shared here are meant for appeasement and should not be taken as specific evidence used to future effect. Commitments made in conversation are non-committal. The phrases including but not limited to “yes” “sounds great” should be interchanged with “no” and should not be assumed to mean “yes”. “I can do that” is not offered in any guarantee, whether expressed or assumed. “I’d love to” is subject to change without notice.

So if you’re like me, and will try anything to avoid saying no to someone, you may as well try this.

Of course, I’m easy either way.

No worries if not!
