How to Cure the People Pleaser Syndrome is an excerpt from the book How to Stop Being a People Pleaser. This book teaches 10 ways in which you can heal yourself from this condition and one of them is to be a Jesus Pleaser.
Be A Jesus Pleaser
To stop being a compulsive people pleaser you have to be a dedicated Jesus pleaser by coming to Jesus the way Bartimaeus arose and went to Him.
To do this, make a conscious decision to turn away from your sinful ways and then say with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead when He died for our sins and you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
After getting saved, drop the heavy yoke of living to please people and put on the one of living just to please Jesus. To do this, read your Bible so that you can know how He and our Heavenly Father would like you to live and then do as They say and you will find the peaceful rest (Matthew 11:28-30) that public approval can never give you.
If you read something that God would like you to do, but you are scared of public censure, learn from Gideon and find a way of doing it even if it involves an extraordinary method. This is because when God asked him to tear down the altar to the false god Baal, Gideon took ten men and did as the Lord had told him to do but because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, he could not do it during the day and so he did it at night. (Judges 6:27)
