I cannot stand my old roommate that said she needed the room to be her safe space. So she inconvenienced me for the entire year. I literally walked on eggshells around her. Like what about MY comfort??? I just liked occasionally listening to music in the shower but she said the noise triggered her.
it’s not. a boundary is about creating limits to your relationship for both of your health and well being. a boundary might be “if you yell at me, i’m going to leave until you calm down and talk to you later”. it’s about reaction to behavior, because you can’t control how other people act. saying “if you don’t do this i’ll do this” isn’t a boundary, it’s the exact opposite, it’s a demand you’re refusing to accept your inability to control others and making demands of them
