Chapter 1: Defining Boundaries

Boundaries are imaginary lines that separate you from others' physical space, feelings, needs, and responsibilities. These boundaries communicate to others your expectations of how they should treat you. People may take advantage of you or make you feel bad or uncomfortable if you do not have boundaries.

Setting boundaries can be difficult for many people. This is because, in order for the boundary to work, you must be willing to tell someone who has crossed the boundary that they are wrong. To put it another way, you must be able to defend yourself and confront another person.

Boundaries are essential for maintaining healthy relationships that benefit both you and the other person. People may not know how to treat you if you do not set and enforce your own boundaries. This is entirely their own fault. Others will not be able to respect your boundaries if you do not communicate them to them.

As a result, you concentrate on your own needs rather than worrying about what others expect of you. This is a form of self-care because it allows you to cherish yourself by doing what you require and desire.

3. Boundaries establish realistic expectations and provide clear directions.

When you set a boundary, you and the other party involved are both made aware of what is expected of them. As a result, the expectations in the relationship become more realistic and have clear directions. People usually behave appropriately when
