15 Signs of Weak Boundaries and 4 Hints to Help Identify If They’re Being Violated

What Are Personal Boundaries?

Boundaries are the mental, emotional, and physical limits to how others can treat you, behave around you, and what they can expect from you. Not only do boundaries defend us from being violated by others, they help us to clearly distinguish who we are and what we need from other people and their needs.

Boundaries are vital for our healthy self-respect and self-worth. Enforcing healthy boundaries allows us to clearly voice our truth and communicate our needs. It gives us the space we need to show up as our very best.
