What to do if I feel like my teammates are not as invested in our project as me? We have a tight schedule yet they ignore me when I say I want to get started on planning concrete and only focus on their vision… What should I do? I can’t do everything by myself.

Dear Diligent Dylan, 

Picture this: You are on a battlefield with the enemy frontlines (the deadline) approaching. You tirelessly fend off the enemies (progress with the project) with all your might. You look to your comrades (teammates) and see them… partying?

How do I stop people-pleasing?

People-Pleasing Penny

Dear People-Pleasing Penny,

Maybe you want people to like you. Maybe you’re trying not to make others upset. Or maybe, you’re just a really nice person.
