Set boundaries in your relationships

December 6, 2022

Picture a situation where a large family gathered for a festive dinner, everyone is lively discussing something, and suddenly your aunt asks you a question: "Are you going to get married?" Silence hung in the air, and now all attention is focused on you. At this moment, it is important not to get lost and say, for example, the following: "This has nothing to do with the family feast. Let's discuss the upcoming vacation together instead”. Such a firm, but clear and polite answer will make it clear to the interlocutors that you know how to define your personal boundaries — in the future it will help avoid such awkward conversations.
