"I've always had a hard time saying no" - Chris Paul says he's done being a 'people pleaser' after heartfelt talk with wife
Chris Paul no longer wants to be a people pleaser. Paul said that he had a heart-to-heart talk with his wife Jada Crawley about having a tough time saying no to people.
CP3 was a guest on The Pivot podcast where he discussed his NBA career, hopes of winning a championship and his personal life. He recently had a conversation with his wife about being there for the people that support him rather than those who are critical of him.
"I've always had a hard time saying no," Paul said. "To this or that or show up here, all right. The biggest thing I've been trying to work on is showing up for the people who show up for me. I let people do me dirty for so long, talk crazy about me? I'mma still show up for them, still do that."
He added:
"It's just recently that I had a conversation with my wife. It's like, 'I'm done with that.' The pivot is investing more time to those who deserve it." (1:07:03 - 1:07:33)
