If you recognize yourself in several of these points, your personal boundaries may be blurred or weakened:
• You find it difficult to refuse a request, even when it feels uncomfortable or unprofitable. You simply do not know how to say “no.”
• Friends, acquaintances, or parents tell you how to live, how to raise your children, how to build relationships with your partner, what to wear, what to do, and what not to do.
• You use your personal time in ways that do not reflect your own wishes or priorities.
• Other people allow themselves to open your phone, read your messages, check your pockets, or otherwise invade your privacy.
• You experience regular humiliation or insults.
• You suffer physical abuse.
• You feel responsible for the emotions and moods of others.
• You experience strong guilt if you are unable to fulfill a request.
• You are afraid to voice your opinion or disagree openly.
• You constantly try to be “good,” convenient, and agreeable.
Some of these points may also apply in the opposite direction. If you behave this way toward other people, you may be crossing their boundaries. In such relationships, boundaries are blurred. It is difficult to speak about a violation when no clear line has been defined or respected.
