Setting clear personal boundaries is crucial for Protagonists. You need to clearly communicate your own needs and feelings rather than always putting yourself last. When handling conflicts, Protagonist MBTI individuals often tend to reconcile quickly, sometimes even sacrificing their own position to maintain harmony.
