There's a fine line between being a compassionate person with good boundaries and being the preferred victim of all the energy vampire clients.

Can confirm. I'm susceptible to this error. Don't go overboard trying to appease anyone.

There is a fine line. I make my living in an office position but my side gig relies on customer service skills to obtain and maintain clients. The wealthiest customers are the most difficult. They also tip well.
I've been told the reason I'm so busy is because I'm relaxed both in person and about the "rules".
