Setting boundaries isn’t about being rude. It’s about owning your space. If someone doesn’t like it, tough. You’re not here to make life easier for them.
Boundaries send a clear message: “Respect me or step back.” Without them, confusion and frustration creep in. You end up stuck doing favors for people who never even asked if you had the time.
Your boundaries reflect your values. Before you can set them, you’ve got to know your own limits and priorities. You can’t defend what you haven’t defined.
State your boundaries firmly, not as a request but as a fact. Those who respect them show they understand you. Those who don’t make it clear they never did.
Idea for Impact: If someone crosses the line, stand firm. Let them know their actions are not acceptable. Do not back down.
