Boundaries are a vital part of your self-care as a highly sensitive person.

Having boundaries around what you do often involves having to say ‘no’ to some things. This can sound like:

• I have been feeling pretty tired; lately, I feel I need to rest tonight
• I can come for 2 hours, and then I will need to leave
• I don’t answer my phone after 7 pm

It can be challenging for HSPs to say ‘no’ because they face the other person’s disappointment. Boundaries are usually a constant work in progress for highly sensitive people.

Let me know with a ‘yep’ if this is you in the comments.
