There are ways to serve the people you love without sacrificing your own wants and desires and falling into people-pleasing behaviors.

Boundaries are rules and limits an individual creates to set reasonable, permissible, and safe ways for others to interact with them.

Someone who is overly confident or even selfish is not necessarily a narcissist – even if their behavior may make them unpopular.

Proper work-life balance agrees that all aspects of a person’s life are valuable and desirable when measured in moderation.
