If you’re a ‘Yes’ person, it can be difficult to set boundaries. Pleasing other people becomes a priority, and in doing so, you often put your own wants or needs aside.

‘Yes, I’ll work overtime tonight, no problem.” Or “Yes, I can cancel my plans. It wasn’t a big deal anyway”, even though, deep down, it was a big deal.

Though you may find it hard to admit, the lack of boundaries is leaving you open to overcommitting and undervaluing your own needs. And that’s not OK.

It’s time to sit down and reassess the boundaries, or rather lack of them, in your life. The sooner you establish some ground rules, not only for yourself but for the people around you, the sooner you’ll find yourself saying “Yes” to a happier you.

And to help you get started, we’ve put together 75 boundaries quotes about setting limits in your relationships.

Why Should You Set Boundaries in Your Relationships?

It’s great to see other people get what or where they want to be in life. And it’s even better knowing you’ve helped them get there. But not at the cost of your own wellbeing.

If you spend all of your time, and use all of your energy on other people, what’s left for you? At the end of each day, when you’re exhausted, both physically and mentally from aiding others, where do you fit in?

Quite simply, without being assertive, without setting strong boundaries, and living by then, you don’t. Your wants will become less warranted; your needs less important.

And all because the thought of saying “No” leaves you feeling uneasy.

But why? You should be able to say “Not tonight, sorry” or “I’m busy, maybe another time” without opening up the flood gates of anxiety and guilt. It’s OK to put yourself first.

And this is something that too many people forget, especially in relationships. Whilst it’s great to be there for each other, setting boundaries gives a clear insight as to what is and isn’t OK.

It brings comfort, respect, and understanding, all of which are key elements within a healthy relationship. And guess what? If you’re partner, your friend, or even your family can’t accept your boundaries, then they aren’t accepting you. And that’s not a good place to be.

Now is the time to pull on brave pants and say “No”. No to hindering your life whilst helping others. And no to just doing what everyone else wants or expects.

So let’s get started with these boundaries quotes.

A question with no answer is a barrier that cannot be breached. In other words, it is questions with no answers that set the limit of human possibilities, describe the boundaries of human existence.”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

In the interval between reach and grasp, between glance and counterglance, between ‘I love you’ and ‘I love you too,’ the absent presence of desire comes alive. But the boundaries of time and glance and I love you are only aftershocks of the main, inevitable boundary that creates Eros: the boundary of flesh and self between you and me. And it is only, suddenly, at the moment when I would dissolve that boundary, I realize I never can.”
― Anne Carson, Eros the Bittersweet

“We need to have a talk on the subject of what's yours and what's mine.”
― Stieg Larsson, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The windows are the aspects of your relationship that are open to the world—that is, the necessary gaps through which you interact with family and friends; the walls are the barriers of trust behind which you guard the most intimatesecrets of your marriage.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“Children who are not encouraged to do, to try, to explore, to master, and to risk failure, often feel helpless and inadequate. Over-controlled by anxious, fearful parents, these children often become anxious and fearful themselves. This makes it difficult for them to mature. Many never outgrow the need for ongoing parental guidance and control. As a result, their parents continue to invade, manipulate, and frequently dominate their lives.”
― Susan Forward, Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life

Many survivors are used to the "wait and see" tactic which only leaves them vulnerable to a second attack. As your boundaries get stronger, the wait time gets shorter. You never have justify your intuition.”
― Shahida Arabi

“There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared. An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of boundary. But the idea was real. It was important. For seven generations there had been nothing in the world more important than that wall.
Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia

But let’s dig into the fresh energy of new boundaries and at the same time pick the blossoms of poetry welling up along the path of our life, and enjoy the innocence of the little wonders of every day.
("A Thousand times touched." )”
― Erik Pevernagie

“When we walk out of our boundaries, we find out that knowledge is not a completion or a windfall, but a long process of revisions or adjustments. Likewise, we recognize that wisdom results from the painful filtering of experiences we collect on the bumpy path of life. ‘("Loss of benchmarks")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“if you want to live an authentic, meaningful life, you need to master the art of disappointing and upsetting others, hurting feelings, and living with the reality that some people just won’t like you. It may not be easy, but it’s essential if you want your life to reflect your deepest desires, values, and needs. ”
― Cheryl Richardson, The Art of Extreme Self-Care: Transform Your Life One Month at a Time

The child breaks the rule again, and the parent manages the consequences and empathy that then turn the rule into reality and internal structure for the child.”
― Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend

I imagine the vast realm of science as a wide field, some parts of which are dark, and others are illuminated.

Don't be too sluggish, though. Let your own judgment be your teacher. Facial expressions and words must match each other; especially pay attention not to overstep the boundaries of the natural. Everything that is refined is contrary to the intention of the theater, the purpose of which was, is and will reflect nature in itself: good, evil, time and people should see themselves in it, as in a mirror. If you present them too strongly or too weakly, of course, you will sometimes make the layman laugh, but the connoisseur will be annoyed; and for you, the judgment of the connoisseur should outweigh the opinion of everyone else. I saw actors who were praised to the skies - and what? In words and gait, they did not resemble either Christians, or Jews, or people in general: they acted and yelled so that I thought: some day laborer of nature must have made people, but unsuccessfully - they imitated humanity so terribly.

Righteous person. Knowing no fear, he is always on the side of justice - neither the passions of the crowd, nor the violence of the tyrant will force him to transgress its boundaries. But where is he, this phoenix of endurance? Truth has few fans. Many praise her, but only from a stranger; others follow her until there is no danger, and there the scoundrels openly renounce her, and the sly ones pretend to be faithful. Without hesitation, she will go against friends, against the authorities, against her own benefit - in this test, she is most often changed. The cunning in sincere reasoning will renounce it so as not to offend the interests of superiors or the state. But a straightforward husband considers all falsehood to be treason; proud of his steadfastness more than his vigilance, he is always committed to the truth. And if he leaves her subjects, it is not he who is changeable, but they left her first.

Quotes from the book

Any person grows cold when he feels your dependence on him.

April 5, 2021

You are not responsible for other people's feelings and reactions. You cannot offend anyone. The person himself decides whether to be offended or not. If he decides to be offended, that is his choice. Your job is to say "no" when you don't want to agree. Then you turn on white noise in your head. Someone else's emotional reaction does not concern you.

May 3, 2021

We buy people because we are afraid that no one wants them for free

April 29, 2021

Conflict is good. It exhausts only when you are a victim in it - you make excuses, retreat, yield. The conflict is needed then to clarify their claims and the parties agreed on their interests. And not at all because one suppresses the other, and this other concedes and concedes.

May 2, 2021

The most important thing: who knows how to love himself, knows how to love others. Do not rape with care and claims, but delicately be present. And live in parallel, not wrapped around the neck.

April 6, 2021

Accepting yourself in any form and taking care of yourself for who you are is body positivity. Alienating yourself and ignoring problems so as not to bother yourself once again and hide behind body positivity is promiscuity. And the judge is only you.

April 6, 2021

Mature love is when we fall in love with a person's self-sufficiency, which is equal to our own self-sufficiency.

April 6, 2021

There is only one working method to stop being afraid: study the issue thoroughly. We are afraid of the unknown.

May 7, 2021

The habit of saving leads to poverty. The habit of spending leads to money.
