self-care and people find that incredibly attractive when you set clear boundaries you show that you know your worth and are not willing to compromize it for anyone it's a powerful message that says I value myself and you should too imagine being in a relationship where your partner constantly crosses your limits making you feel uncomfortable and undervalued that's a recipe for disaster right now imagine the opposite a relationship where both parties respect each other's boundaries and communicate openly about their needs that's the kind of relationship where real admiration and Obsession can grow as brne brown puts

late at night despite you asking them not to remind them of your boundary I've asked you not to call after 10 p.m. I need that time to unwind and sleep setting and enforcing boundaries also means being willing to walk away from relationships that don't respect your limits this can be tough but it's necessary for your self-respect and emotional health as the saying goes the only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who were benefiting from you having none boundaries are not just about keeping people out they're about creating a safe space
