People Pleaser: Constantly trying to mediate conflicts and sacrificing your feelings for peace indicates poor boundaries.

Not Voicing Needs/Feelings: Suppressing your needs and feelings hurts self-worth. Learn to express them assertively.

No Time for Yourself: Schedule self-care and activities you enjoy. Taking care of yourself is not selfish.
