Some people will do anything to people-please and avoid conflict. Having little or no self-esteem can result in this behavior. So, too, can early traumas and punishment for displaying anger. Someone can have high self-esteem, but still yield to people pleasing and avoidance of conflict. Having high self-esteem can make it easier to effect behavioral changes, but it is not mutually exclusive to lack of boundaries.
