Personal boundaries

March 15, 2023

I am going to give you a simple classification of the psychological sovereignty aspects, which you can analyze in order to understand whether your personal boundaries are respected: ▫️Tactility. Is bodily contact with loved ones always voluntary for you? ▫️Personal space. Do your loved ones understand that when you're there, you can't be touched? ▫️Personal items. When you buy something specifically for yourself, does your family always respect it? ▫️Social connections. Do you have the ability to communicate freely with those who matter to you and not to communicate with people you don't like? ▫️Values. Do your family members respect your views, even if they differ with their mindsets, or demean them? Answering these questions, it is worth being honest with yourself, no matter how difficult it may be.
