Your Favorite You

Ep 110: Privileges and Boundaries


Listen Later

Last week, I spoke about why it's important to stop forcing relationships with people who no longer want to be in relationship with you. But what if you’re on the other side of things? What if you need to withdraw your consent to be in relationship with others?

In this episode, I define boundaries not as a way to control others, but as something we have to mind and abide by ourselves. I provide examples of boundaries I've built to help you understand how you can do the same with someone who is bringing negativity into your life. 

Finally, I guide you through the process of determining when you need to build the last-resort boundary: removing yourself from a relationship completely. It’s a privilege for other people to have you in their life. You may have to decide if you want to give your time to someone who doesn't make you feel like your favorite you.
