Understanding the Purpose of Boundaries

Boundaries serve the purpose of protecting us from harm, like walls safeguarding a house from storms. They are essential as not everyone prioritizes our well-being, and some may drain our energy. Communicating and asserting boundaries is crucial to prevent being taken advantage of and to maintain one's happiness. Enforcing boundaries involves speaking up, preparing for opposition, and committing to oneself.
