Don't tell people your boundaries. Show them.
If you tell someone they can't talk to you a certain way or do certain things, those are not boundaries. Boundaries are things we show. If you tell someone "if you do that again I am not going to speak to you" and you stay and continue to speak to them, that's not a boundary. Just words. Words that they now know means absolutely nothing and they can take advantage of.
You show people how to treat you.
You reinforce your boundaries with your actions. Unless you show someone with your actions that what they are doing is not okay, and you do not continue to allow it, they will keep doing it.
It's your life, you can literally change careers. You can move somewhere new. You can meet new friends and drop old toxic ones. Learn new hobbies or not, go for a walk at dusk...go camping over the weekend. Too many people are afraid to just do something because there is risk involved but then what's the point of life if you aren't enjoying the gifts and blessings God has bestowed us with?
