Boundaries (Part 2): What They Are NOT

This is the next part in the Boundary series:In this episode I point out that boundaries are not ultimatums, threats, or passive‑aggressive vibes. They’re not punishments, people‑management tools, or ‘if you loved me you’d know’ energy. Boundaries don’t control others—they clarify you. They’re not selfish, dramatic, or mean. They’re grown‑up guardrails that protect your peace, your nervous system, and your sanity—so resentment doesn’t become your personality.
