Okay so I feel bad when my dad is angry or disappointed in me it really makes me feel bad and I try to do all that I can to fix that. Like when I'm trying to find a solution to why he is mad Im not trying to fix it to make my life better or what makes me feel happy, but something to just make him not be mad at me, even if I don't like the solution. Like I don't know if that's good or should I try to accept that I just won't also make him happy.
Is that bad or normal? I would hear other people's thought on this type of situation, whether it's Mom, dad, grandparents, brother, sister, Guardian, boyfriend, girlfriend, I just want to know if it's like bad to want to please other people more than yourself or do things for them first and then yourself.

I don't think it's necessarily bad, but I don't think it's good either.
The thing is, some people you can NEVER please, you do almost everything right, and they only thing they'll care about is what you do wrong.
Please your dad when can, but try not to base your entire life around it or your own self worth on it as well, because you'll never be able to please them 100% of the time.

I am one that likes to please other people and help them to be happy. I think that we should have that attitude.

I'm not the right person to give you advice, because all my life I tried to be good to others and then lost myself.

@LovelyRoyal It's not good, believe me doing things in a life that you just want and that only makes you happy, because one day you will realize that life has passed and you will be unhappy.

That's how I feel, but I just feel like my life is better when they are happy.
