The importance of boundaries in relationships can’t be stressed enough. They allow me to keep my peace and sanity. As an introvert I value boundaries tremendously and try my best to keep them without draining my energy. This can be tough at times, but it needs to be done.

Without them people are taken advantage of. In all of my relationships, I attempt to set clear boundaries and immediately address violators when they fail to comply with them. Boundaries that I hold near and dear to my heart are below.

Don’t be rude or disrespectful towards me

Don’t speak to me in a rude or disrespectful manner; this includes tone of voice, i.e. attitude or condescending 

Don’t lie to me 

Don’t interrupt me

Don’t question the things I say or do

Don’t disregard what I say or do

Don’t take me for granted

Don’t say mean or disrespectful things to other people when I am around

Don’t be lazy and expect me to do all the work
