Boundaries Aren't Just for Countries

Uncategorized Nov 14, 2022

Are there people who just suck the life out of you? They need more from you than you have to give, or they don’t value the time the constantly want from you?

Time to set a boundary with those people.

Because every situation is unique, every boundary is unique. Get creative on how you can only give this person the resources – and yes, your time is a resource! – that you want to give them. If they call or text you multiple times through the day, set up a quick response you can send – maybe something like “I’ll get back to you later today.” Keep it bland and impersonal and use it every time an unwanted intrusion arrives. I once worked for a man that seemed to have terrible tummy troubles - every time he was interrupted by anyone while he was busy, he proclaimed a hygiene emergency and dashed down the hall. OK, that might be a bit extreme, but hey, whatever it takes!

At first you may feel guilty, and the person may very well get mad. If they do, they’re clearly showing you that your boundary is appropriate.
