How To Set And Maintain Healthy Boundaries
Communication is key to maintaining healthy boundaries especially if someone consistently oversteps your boundaries.
“Say ‘no’ simply but firmly to something you do not want to do. Do not feel that you need to explain” (Kairns, 1992). Not overexplaining is a crucial aspect of setting boundaries. This will prevent a would-be interloper from finding a loophole where they can wiggle their way in. This says that you and only you have the right to determine what you do and do not want to do and they have to be ok with that.
