Set Boundaries

The power to say no is one of the most important things in any relationship. This is especially true for more empathetic people. You can only give so much before it starts to wear you down, and it’s important to avoid that.

There’s nothing wrong with voicing your opinions and needs, especially when it comes from a place of a team mindset with respect at the center of your thinking. If the relationship is a worthwhile one, the other people will respect your wants and needs too, and getting into the habit of expressing them will help you in the long term.
