Boundaries are not selfish—they’re necessary. Learn to say no without guilt. You don’t owe anyone your time or energy if it comes at the expense of your peace of mind.
Communicate your needs clearly and calmly. People who respect you will respect your boundaries. If they don’t, it’s a red flag to re-evaluate that relationship.
Setting boundaries may feel uncomfortable at first, but it’s empowering. It shows that you value yourself and your well-being. Protect your time, energy, and emotions—you’re worth it.
