Boundaries are limits you set to protect your wellbeing, time, and energy. They’re not mean – they’re healthy! Boundaries might sound like: “I can’t hang out today, I need rest,” or “Please don’t share my secrets.” Good friends will respect your boundaries. Friends who get angry or ignore your limits might not be the right friends for you.
What can help:
What to know
- Be clear and direct about what you need
- Don’t apologize for having boundaries
- Notice who respects your limits and who pushes them
- Remember that “no” is a complete sentence
Boundaries protect friendships – they don’t damage them!
