Emotional boundaries are the limits we set to protect our feelings and emotional well-being. They help us define what is acceptable in our relationships and interactions with others. By establishing these boundaries, we can maintain a sense of self and prevent others from negatively impacting our emotions. These boundaries can involve saying "no" to requests that overwhelm us or distancing ourselves from toxic relationships. Healthy emotional boundaries allow us to express our feelings without fear of judgment, fostering better communication and understanding with others, such as friends, family, and colleagues.
