 Here's nine potential reasons why you can't sufficiently set a boundary with people where you kind of know that you need to and you should. Number one, you fear being mean or them thinking that you mean. Number two, you fear being rude or them thinking that you've been rude. Number three, you're a people pleaser. Number four, you're anxious about future interactions with that person after you've set the boundary. Number five, you feel powerless and really not sure boundaries will help in that situation. Number six, you get your value from helping others. Setting boundaries makes it feel like you're not been helpful. Number seven, you project your feelings about being told no on to them. Number eight, you have no actual clue where to start setting boundaries. Number nine, you believe that you can't have boundaries in certain types of relationships and you can and you should. Let's keep working on setting boundaries where we need to.
