What boundaries mean in relationships

 responsibility imbalance  If you don't limit what you can answer with yes or no, you can easily assume more responsibility for pleasing others than you feel comfortable with. This is called rejection sensitivity, and it can be stressful when you try to live a life that is too busy for your level of comfort.  If you don't respect your own limits, you may not respect others either. If you don't put boundaries or limits on your time, it will be hard to understand when others ask you too much.  Setting healthy boundaries will help you strike the right balance in your schedule and life. This gives you the right to say no and better protect your time.   feelings of anger  If you keep saying yes to things it would be better to answer no, you may become angry or resentful. It may seem like other people take advantage of you or expect too much of you.  Sometimes this anger comes from not realizing that you have intervened in an overly busy schedule. You can't create a connection where you don't have control over your to-do list. Other times you realize that you are responsible and angry with yourself for making it happen.  Whatever your perception, the end result will be stressful and you will be resentful of the situation. This can bring you closer and further away from the people in your life. Also, by always saying yes, you can potentially damage the relationship you are trying to strengthen.  Time management - strategy, skills and more  increased conflict  Conflict can arise when you feel that giving and receiving in a relationship is out of balance.
