Setting boundaries is important because relationships are vulnerable.That's true regardless of relationship type. Everyone in your life must respect your boundaries.
You must be honest with family, friends, and romantic partners. Allowing individuals to cross your lines sets a precedent.
Learning your limits is a strength. Do not apologize for possessing them when stating them. You needn't.
Communication is essential to strong relationships. Many people struggle to talk honestly. You may need to practice.
When someone violates your limits, you must speak out. Let the other person know you're unhappy politely.
Allowing someone to violate your limits may be simpler than confronting them. People-pleasers often do this.
Respect is reciprocal. Building successful relationships requires understanding and respecting others' boundaries.
