SETTING BOUNDARIES IN RELATIONSHIPS: HOW TO SET CLEAR BOUNDARIES

Every person has a right to set boundaries in their relationships with other people. People should not feel bad or guilty when they have to build fences and boundaries where people are not to pass as they please. People need to respect other people’s boundaries too without taking things personal.

HOW TO SET BOUNDARIES IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

It is difficult for some people to put fences around them and let others know they are not to walk into their space as they

please or without their permission. This is because most people are quick to label someone who sets boundaries as rude. The thing is, setting boundaries in relationships need not be a rude, nor does it need to appear so. You have a right to privacy. You also have to let people know they may not treat you a certain way – that they may not do or say certain things to you. As Dr. Phil McGraw puts it – “You teach people how to treat you.”

The trouble with not letting people know their boundaries is that it causes unnecessary resentment, and stress. It is better to let someone know how not to treat you, and how not to talk to you, than to end up resenting them and hurting yourself and your relationship with the other person. God does not want us to let people walk all over us. We are free, as His children, to be ourselves and set boundaries in relationships with others.
