Scenario ( personal boundaries If I m in a relationship with someone, I want to hold hands and walk with our arms around each other to show people we re together. When I m watching TV with my friends or siblings, I want my own space I don t want us to lean on each other or sit too close. When I see someone I know, I ll physically greet them in some way a hug, handshake, punch on the arm etc. What would I suggest? I don t like it when someone hugs me from behind. I don t mind it when someone physically moves my body when they re trying to get past me. I could tell someone if they were not respecting my personal boundaries.
What you can do: 1. Be clear Other people can t read your mind. If a boundary is important to you, speak up. 2. Don t push People can have all sorts of reasons for maintaining a boundary in a relationship. It could be as simple as they don t like doing something. 3. Always ask for consent An absolute yes or an absolute no is easier to understand than a sometimes . If someone is just okay with doing something sometimes , the only way to make sure with someone is to ask.
