Creating boundaries is necessary for selfpreservation from "summary" of Regretting You by Colleen Hoover
In families, boundaries are like invisible lines that shouldn't be crossed. They're what keep us feeling safe and secure. They're what help us maintain our own sense of identity. When those boundaries are breached, it can feel like the ground beneath us is shifting. Like we're suddenly floating in a sea of uncertainty, with no solid ground to stand on. By creating boundaries, we're essentially drawing a line in the sand. We're saying, "This is where I end, and you begin. " It's a way of protecting ourselves from harm, both physical and emotional. It's a way of asserting our own needs and desires, without having to compromise who we are. But sometimes, creating boundaries can be difficult. Especially when it involves the people we love most. We may worry that by setting boundaries, we'll be hurting those we care about. We may fear that they'll see it as a rejection, rather than an act of self-preservation. In "Regretting You," we see the consequences of failing to set boundaries. We see how the characters struggle to assert themselves, to stand up for what they believe in. We see how their inability to set boundaries leads to conflict, misunderstanding, and heartache. But we also see the power of boundaries. We see how they can bring clarity and understanding to a situation. How they can create a sense of order in a world that often feels chaotic. How they can ultimately lead to healing and growth. So, while creating boundaries may be challenging, it's a necessary part of self-preservation. It's a way of protecting ourselves from harm, while also honoring our own needs and desires. It's a way of maintaining our sense of self in a world that's constantly changing. And in the end, it's a way of showing love and respect for ourselves and those around us.
