I remember I used to write not just about fashion, but about life too. And now our team has so many thoughts that we wanted to come back to this.
Boundaries are not about knowing how to say no. They're about understanding what works for you and what doesn't. And honestly, most problems start not with other people, but with the fact that we don't fully understand this ourselves.
If after talking to someone you feel uncomfortable, if you agree against your will, if you feel irritated that's already a signal. A boundary has been crossed.
Our biggest enemy is also laziness and excuses. Not wanting to do something is more than enough reason, without long explanations. But don't expect everyone to understand you. When you start setting boundaries, some people won't like it. That's normal. People get used to the convenient version of you.
If today it's "no" and tomorrow it's "well, okay", boundaries don't work. It's largely about being specific and clear. Boundaries are not about coldness and not about selfishness. They're about self-respect. And as soon as you start choosing yourself, others start choosing you differently.
