Frequently Asked Questions
What if someone gets angry when I set a boundary?
Their anger is not your responsibility. You can validate their feelings while holding your boundary: 'I understand you're upset, and this is still what I need.' People who genuinely care about you will adjust. Those who don't are revealing themselves.
Can boundaries change over time?
Absolutely. Boundaries should evolve as you grow. What was once okay may no longer be. Communicate changes clearly and give people time to adjust. You have the right to change your mind about your boundaries.
How do I set boundaries with my boss or at work?
Work boundaries require careful communication. Focus on productivity and professional needs: 'I can't complete this by Friday without compromising quality. I can deliver it by Monday instead.' Frame boundaries as what you need to do your best work, not as complaints.
