Thanks for all your input. For Yoda, yes I do have trouble setting boundaries with people because I live to please others. I put a lot of energy into making other people happy and often forget about myself. I was never abused as a child, as far as I know, but I have always been very fearful and "soft" when it comes to anger and standing up for myself. I honestly don't know what caused that, though, because my up-bringing was relatively healthy from what I remember. I haven't brought any of this up with my therapist, but I'm thinking now that I should.
