Having Boundaries Sound Like This

• I can only stay for half an hour.

• I respect your opinion but this is my life and decision.

• I need time to think about it. I will get back to you.

• I will end this phone call if you continue to shout at me.

• I don’t feel comfortable with that. If you continue to do that, I will leave.

• Thank you for your offer, but unfortunately, I can’t make it.

• I don’t respond to work emails on the weekend.

• I’m not comfortable discussing that. Please do not discuss it with me.
