How do you navigate setting a firm boundary with a loved one who is used to you being a people-pleaser?

Slowly push your boundaries and don’t be as agreeable. It is a slow process. There will be bad feelings. But you slowly get them used to it. I was such a people pleaser and I was too afraid to offend anyone. But something clicked in me and I just start affirming my boundaries and sure I lose some friends but those I don’t care for anyway. They just want me to be compliant and that’s not me.
