Despite all the talk for the last few years about border security, many of us don’t give much thought to the important topics of our personal boundaries. We leave ourselves open to unwanted invasions and sometimes we unwittingly cross into other people’s personal space.

Boundaries can be a tricky issue. We need to maintain some control over our lives but we don’t want to appear rigid and unfriendly. As with most worthwhile things, we need to maintain a good balance.

“Healthy boundaries in relationships create mutual respect between individuals. Setting boundaries helps us know what’s expected in the relationship. Plus, boundaries show us how we can respect each other’s personal space, comfort level, and limits.

Boundaries can look different in every relationship. We have unique relationships with our friends, coworkers, family, and romantic partners. For example, you may share financial accounts with your romantic partner, but not your parents.

Similarly, maybe you express lots of emotions with your family members, but not your coworkers. It’s probably not appropriate to complain to your officemate about your relationship problems. However, it’s perfectly fine to vent about your intramural soccer team’s loss.

Whatever the relationship, we need to respect existing boundaries and give each other space to set new limits. In healthy relationships, both people have healthy self-esteem and are able to both be vulnerable and assert their boundaries. They feel free to think, feel, and act independently.” betterup.com

Remember the immortal words of Robert Frost in Mending Wall: “Good fences make good neighbors.”
