When protecting your limits looks like weakness to others

I burned all the way down two years ago, and now I finally work in a way that doesn't cost me everything. I say no without apologizing and I leave when the day is done. But when I watch coworkers grinding the way I used to, part of me still wonders if my new limits look like weakness to them.
