Try it
Here are some words you can say to tell someone about your boundaries:
- Thank you for calling me. I am very busy during the day, so I don’t usually answer my phone. I will call you back after work.
- I have a personal rule that I am not Facebook friends with people from work.
- I would feel more comfortable if you didn’t try to eat off my plate.
- Please don’t stand so close to me.
- I need some time and space.
- Let me think about it. I’ll get back to you later.
Can you think of your own boundaries and come up with a script or words of your own that help you tell others about your boundaries?
