Boundaries Are Not Betrayals

You’ve kept yourself accessible.
You’ve said “I’m fine” when you weren’t.
You’ve pushed past your limits so others could stay comfortable.

And every time, guilt crept in when you even thought about setting a boundary.
Because somewhere along the way, a lie took root:

“If I set boundaries, I’m selfish.”

But boundaries aren’t about rejection—they’re about relationship.
They’re not about distance—they’re about dignity.
They don’t end connection—they make real connection possible.

This lie usually starts where needs were dismissed, or space wasn’t safe.
Maybe your “no” was punished. Maybe love felt contingent on flexibility.
So you stopped drawing lines.
And started disappearing.

But what if saying no was an act of love—to yourself and to others?
What if boundaries aren’t barriers, but invitations to be real?

Ask yourself:

• Where did I learn that self-care is selfish?
  

• How does resentment build when I ignore my limits?
  

• What would shift if I honored my own needs as sacred?
  

You don’t have to disappear to be loved.
You get to exist fully, and still say “no.”
That’s not selfish. That’s sacred.
