Am I being nice or needy ? 

1. Low self esteem : People pleasing means we depend on others a lot for validation and our choices are driven by their response. This weakens our sense of self.2. Constant Dissatisfaction : Since our focus is not what we really want or like, we always end up unhappy with our life.3. Emotional Burnout : We often take extra steps and give way more than we take from others. This emotionally drains us.All in all, affects our own mental peace.
