When you set a limit, you bury it under paragraphs of justification. A boundary doesn’t need a legal brief. ‘No’ is a complete sentence.
“What would you have me know about why I over-explain my boundaries?”
Some additional insights around this question:
- Where do you over-justify instead of simply stating your limit?
- What are you afraid of if you don’t explain enough?
- What would a boundary with no defense attached feel like?
