Trying to be everyone's friend

I wouldn't call myself a people pleaser. If I'm having a bad day I'll definately show it and be antisocial or a dickhead. But in social situations I always tend to find something that another person and I have in common and try to build on it or talk mainly about that subject.

Even if they are a really annoying individual which I can't stand I'll tend to ignore the things that bug me and focus on what I like about them. It's also hard for me to criticize somebody to their face without thinking about how they would respond to it or how it would affect them.
This affects me personally because i can't always speak or say whats on my mind..I'd like to change this someday hopefully

    I tend to do this as well. It seems as if you're just too afraid of what others will think of you and your opinions. This bugs me as well, but maybe you should try to take smalls steps in the journey of expressing your voice.

    I do pretty much the same thing. I'll generally try to find something in common with everyone, but I'll still always stand my ground when either I have opinions on certain things or something I'm for is ridiculed. My advice would to keep it up, because it's good to make as good an impression as possible I think, but be your own person, and don't get swayed by everyone elses' thoughts and opinions.

    i used to have the same problem and to some extent i still do. the best thing to do is to start off by putting a persons flaws in a nice way and work your way up from there
