What are boundaries
A boundary is an imaginary line that separates you from others. It separates your physical space, your feelings, needs, and responsibilities from others. Your boundaries also tell other people how they can treat you-what’s acceptable and what isn’t. Without boundaries people may take advantage of you because you haven’t set limits about how you expect to be treated.
or
When a boundary is crossed, you need to provide feedback saying it’s not okay. The boundary is worthless if you don’t enforce it by giving feedback consequences. Some people will easily accept a boundary and others will continue to challenge and escalate it.
