Boundaries

Boundaries are like invisible lines that protect your space and your well-being. They can be both physical and personal.

Physical Boundaries

These are about your body and your personal space.
Examples: Not wanting someone to touch you without asking, or needing space when you are tired.
Setting them can be as simple as saying, “Please don’t sit so close,” or “I don’t like hugs.”

Personal Boundaries

These protect your feelings, thoughts, and energy.
Examples: Saying “no” when you don’t want to do something, or not sharing private details if you’re uncomfortable.
Setting them might sound like, “I’m not ready to talk about that,” or “I can’t hang out tonight.”
