It's a two way street after all, being a doormat sucks. Try to establish boundaries, ask for help, and say no when you need to.

Digital monochrome sketch of Foxfire, an anthro fox, looking at the viewer. He is standing in front of a nondescript building, a door visible to our right. In front of Foxfire are three bollards—large concrete cylinders with rounded tops—and he has claimed the center one. His head is perched just above the top, with his hand-paws stacked atop one another, curved around the front of the bollard. His legs are spread far apart, but are still planted on the ground. His tail rests to his right, curling towards us. His dark eyelids rest halfway down, tiny hearts visible in the pupils, helping complete an amorous open mouth smile.  In contrast to the imagery, there is a speech bubble where Foxfire says "don't take more than you can handle—just to please someone else."

Is this a reference to that comic where a small dragon tries to... "take" one of these bollards? Because that comic gave me second-hand pain that I can still feel in my bones.

But I agree, it's important to establish boundaries and to enforce them, and that's something I sometimes struggle with, too, especially in the context of work (when they ask for overtime, extra shifts, extra work, that sort of stuff). Thank you for this very important PSA that you delivered with unmatched style :3
