| I need to step back, protect my energy and stop being the initiator. Any books or podcasts or resources on this? |

You might have better luck thinking less of the term
"people pleaser" ( vague, not really a psychological construct). Try books or podcasts around terms such as low self esteem, boundaries or self care. |

| Read Carolyn Hax or write to her. I'm serious. She is great about boundaries. You can Google her name and initiating and some old columns come up. |
