Boundaries can take many forms. They can range from being rigid and strict to appearing almost nonexistent.
If you have more rigid boundaries, you might:
-keep others at a distance
-seem detached, even with intimate partners
-have few close relationships
-avoid close relationships
If you have more loose or open boundaries, you might:
-get too involved with others’ problems
-find it difficult to say “no” to others’ requests
-overshare personal information with others
-seek to please others for fear of rejection
A person with healthy boundaries understands that making their expectations clear helps in two ways: it establishes what behavior you will accept from other people, and it establishes what behavior other people can expect from you. If you have healthy boundaries, you might:
-share personal information appropriately (not too much or not too little)
-understand your personal needs and wants and know how to communicate them
-value your own opinions
-accept when others tell you “no”
