People-Pleasing & Burnout-Being the person who is always “easygoing”, helpful or available can feel like a strength — until constantly putting everyone else first starts leaving very little for you.
People-pleasing can sometimes mean ignoring our own limits, saying yes when we want to say no, avoiding disappointing others and taking responsibility for how everyone else feels.
Over time, that can become exhausting.
Boundaries aren’t about caring less about other people. They can help us care for ourselves, too. 💙
