#Boundary-Setting

Boundary-setting is the ritual of hammering stakes into the fortress of self to repel others'9 overstaying invasions. Ironically, the louder one shouts "No," the more one reveals their own chains of approval-seeking. Under the pretense of protecting relationships through distance, it often erects a cage of solitude. Ultimately, those carefully drawn lines between self and other serve as nothing more than an excuse to avoid vulnerability.
