Don't participate in over-giving. Others will perceive your generous nature as a lack of self-worth, yet others still will take advantage of you and exploit you. 

Same thing applies for conflict-avoidance because you want to preserve peace and a calm environment without weeding out incompatible interpersonal dynamics.
