This is a very relevant post for me at the moment haha. I think the most important thing I've found for me is to reflect on how I feel when I don't respect my own boundaries. I used to often feel really bitter and annoyed at how people treated me and forced me to do things I didn't want to do (whether it was at school, work etc. or agreeing to plans with friends that I didn't actually want to do), until I realised that I actually have a choice in deciding what I want to do and a choice in how I react to how people treat me. So I am currently trying to unlearn not sticking to my own boundaries, even though it can be really scary!!
I recently had a manager try and tell me that I wasn't allowed to resign from my job for another job, and I think that experience really highlighted to me that even in early adulthood, there will still be people who try to cross clear boundaries of respect and dignity of a person. So I think it is such an important skill to learn and develop and discuss 😊
