Set clear boundaries from "summary" of Psychopath Free (Expanded Edition) by Jackson MacKenzie
Setting clear boundaries is crucial when dealing with toxic individuals. It is important to establish what behavior is acceptable and what is not. This can help protect yourself from manipulation and abuse. Without clear boundaries, toxic individuals can easily take advantage of you and exploit your kindness. When setting boundaries, it is essential to communicate them clearly and assertively. Toxic individuals often try to push boundaries and test your limits. By being firm and consistent in upholding your boundaries, you send a clear message that you will not tolerate disrespectful or harmful behavior. Setting boundaries is not about being selfish or controlling. It is about taking care of yourself and prioritizing your well-being. Toxic individuals may try to guilt-trip you or make you feel bad for setting boundaries. However, it is important to stay strong and not give in to their manipulative tactics. It is also important to enforce consequences when boundaries are violated. This shows toxic individuals that you are serious about your boundaries and will not tolerate any form of disrespect. By holding them accountable for their actions, you protect yourself from further harm and show that you deserve to be treated with respect. Remember that setting boundaries is a form of self-care. It is about creating a safe and healthy environment for yourself where you can thrive and grow. By setting clear boundaries, you empower yourself and take control of your own life. Stand firm in your boundaries and do not let toxic individuals undermine your worth and well-being.
