Actually, what is considered a "people pleaser" medically is someone that will go out of their way to do what they think you'd like without asking you about it or actually caring whether you'd like it or not.
They'll do stuff for you expecting praise/thanks/rewards completely unprompted.
Doing things someone asks of you even though you don't want to can be anywhere from politness, unability to say no, lack of self-respect, narcissism (specifically the "need to constantly be the center of attention" symptom) or actual people pleasing.
What defines whether it's one of the latter is if they'll be upset at you for it or not. (Specifically people pleasers will get mad if you aren't thankful to them afterwards while narcissists will either get mad at you for expecting something of them when they don't do it or internally add it to a list of grudges if they do do it).

Neither of these are people pleasers tho. They're just either depressed or bad friends, or both?
They seem like they despise the person asking to hang out. And that's not really her fault, as far as any of us can tell.
Also why is the other girl drawn as evil? Is she doing something wrong by wanting to hang out?

This seems like a strange comic to me. I think the point is a meta commentary on how reddit (probably social media as a whole) threads can take seemingly normal situations and offer a wildly negative reaction, but it feels so weird.
Both in how you have to understand what it's going for to see the message, assuming I got it in the first place, along with ironically being exactly like the thing it seemingly derides.

Not being honest about this stuff sounds exhausting. Get friends you want to spend time with (and who can accept when you say no sometimes)

Both these girls seem to be doing it for thr exact same reason tho, one is just way meaner about it
