Are You Also Struggling In Saying No And Setting Boundaries? Here Are Some Tips

We don’t get the love, attention, and affection we need as children when we grow up in dysfunctional homes. This has additional effects on the adult relationships we enter into later in life. We frequently develop into more agreeable people in nature as a result of our need for ongoing love and care. To understand other people’s emotions and sentiments, we continually pay attention to their behaviour and activities.

We also pay close attention to how they see us. This frequently leads us to ignore our needs and boundaries in favour of pleasing others, using every resource at our disposal. But this behaviour could be detrimental to our own mental and emotional well-being.

Because we are afraid of being disliked, we frequently hesitate to say no to requests or activities we do not want to participate in. We also avoid establishing limits for others.

  • Be more conscious: the fact that whenever we say yes when we really meant to say no, we experience some sort of internal emotion. We should make an effort to increase our awareness of these feelings and comprehend the effects they have on us.
  • Understand your fears: Certain anxieties might cause us to behave in unhealthy ways, including not setting limits. We need to be conscious of our fears and work to overcome them.
    Instead of following the crowd, we should reject the idea that we are people pleasers and work to control our own emotions.

  • Practise new behaviours: We should try to behave differently and gradually introduce new mental patterns. Setting limits and saying no are crucial components of daily life that, if done incorrectly, can be harmful to us.
