For the most part I don’t mind doing whatever my partner or friends ask me to. I’m mainly concerned about this with my partner. I’m sure lots of people wouldn’t mind having someone do pretty much whatever they want but I’m worried about this leading to toxic behavior. This isn’t me trying to be a people pleaser I just don’t have a problem with doing whatever people ask for the most part. I don’t always understand what’s normal socially and I don’t want people to start treating me bad because they feel like they can because I never told them no.

Yes. Setting boundaries is paramount.
If you never set any boundaries, it invites people around you to keep pushing, to see how much they can get away with.
Like training a dog; if you feed them when they beg at the table today, they’ll be going for the plate tomorrow.
