9 Signs You Have Poor Boundaries

Here are the tell-tale signs of poor boundaries. The first step to creating healthy relationships is setting boundaries. They help you establish how much time, attention, and energy you’re willing to devote to a relationship. So, how to know if you have poor boundaries? In essence, you feel out of control in your life, and you feel like you are at the mercy of other people’s whims. You may also find yourself in toxic relationships that are dramatic or extremely difficult to cope with.

It’s hard to say no when someone else needs help, when you’re not quite sure what assistance is required, or when someone’s emotions are involved. It can be even harder to say no when you’re unsure where the line is or how to set boundaries. You may have a fear of being abandoned or a fear of being rejected by others.

But setting healthy boundaries is necessary if you want to have control over your time, energy, and emotional space. If you recognize these signs of poor boundaries, it’s time to stand up for yourself and set some limits.

Food For Thought: A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.

[drinasun]

Sometimes being nice comes at the cost of your own happiness and well-being. Don't be so nice that people start to take advantage of your kindness and use your good nature against you. Don't be so nice that you start to resent others for not reciprocating your generosity.

[FilipRanogajec]

I would add: If you don't treat yourself well, no one will either.

[andreajohnstone]

Always had trouble with boundaries. Made my life more difficult. I'm 62 and STILL having a hard time

[helenayamez]

I've said no to people's requests or downright demands and most have walked because they couldn't get what they wanted from me or I've dropped them because I've realised they were only using me. They weren't real friends because real friends would respect your boundaries right? I've yet to meet these people 😕

[jannamartens]

Boundaries are the best thing you can do . I love doing this too . I used to be a people pleaser not anymore . I put my goals first I don’t let people interfere . But we definitely Need to make time for our loyal friends . I love boundaries

Boundaries and privacy are important to me so this helps

[AccountantProOT]

How do I set up my boundaries? Simple
I just tell them to piss off with no problem in my end.

After being a former doormat for so many years, and having to build myself up to learn to trust, respect and love myself, I learned that many people want to morph you in the image they imagine you being. I am not playdough nor a $100 bill for people to shape me nor to like me. If they don't like me, who cares? Do they pay my bills? No! Do they feed me? No! Do they have sex with me? No!

So why should I care about them and/or their opinions about me?

The power of the words "Yes" and "No".

[jeremytibbitts]

I’m understanding this “time apart, ” and trust is very important.

[Anjitha]

People like me are really grateful to you for posting this.. this was perfect timing?

[tobehonestreal]

100% true. Please make a video how to set boundaries

[e.a.jeanson]

If after watching this video, you now realize you don't have good boundaries, don't feel bad.

I'm certain that in the narrative of life existence that we have been conditioned to regard as correct, almost none of us have appropriate boundaries.

Us, being conditioned this way, was not an accident.

Social expectations do this to us and many religious beliefs do this to us as well.

Changing our beliefs is what is necessary to the installation of better boundaries.

I feel guilty of all these boundary complaints.

[poeticposturing]

I get caught up in whether what I am asking for is asking too much. This is mostly around noise. I prefer quiet in a social system that celebrates noise. And often, people find it hard to be quiet about things, like closing doors at night, or turning music/tv down. It makes boundaries harder to name when hostility is the reaction.

[Prettypryde]

After watching this video I can confirm I have no boundaries…

[teriandjacobsworld]

I love these videos, At one time I was being controlled, I was too young to know any better.
I felt I wasn't good enough and always worried about what people think! Now I don't care ✌️

[Lifeofbeenoo]

Almost 40 years old and still have a problem with it. No I can't 😔 I'd rather choose to be alone.

[ryanblack]

I definitely need stronger boundaries. I feel like I'm being mean or something when I say no. I've stopped over saying "sorry" bc if I don't, then ppl talk me into doing what I don't want to do. I'm done being used and a doormat!
