Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re the ultimate self-care flex. 💅✨


But when you're wired for anxiety or avoidance (or hey, BOTH depending on the day), boundaries can get...uhh, weird. 😅

Here’s how the confusion shows up:
- Anxious hearts worry that having needs = being “mean” or “selfish” 🥺 (Spoiler: it’s not.)


- Avoidant souls armor up with rigid boundaries that are basically emotional escape rooms 🧊 (Also...not great.)



And if you don’t catch it early, you could end up making these 6 Boundary Blunders that lowkey ruin relationships:
👉Toxic Positivity: Feelings are only allowed if they’re ✨ pretty ✨ and positive.
👉 Anti-Dependency: "I MUST love myself alone in a cave with a pet rock."
👉 Abandonment Panic: Saying “yes” to yourself feels like saying “no” to your partner. (It’s not!)
👉 Emotional Bondage: If your needs upset someone, you must be wrong. (You’re not.)
👉 Self-Sacrifice Olympics: Love = suffering and martyrdom. (Hard pass.)
👉 Power Struggles: It's either your needs or theirs — no in-between. (False!)


CLEAR version:
✅ All feelings are welcome.
✅ Connection is sacred, not a solo survival mission.



✅ Loving yourself isn’t abandoning others.


✅ Your needs are valid even if they ruffle feathers.


✅ Compromises should honor your values, not bleed you dry.


✅ Needs can coexist with a little curiosity and compassion. ❤️




If you're sitting there like, "Oof...is it really this complicated??" — GOOD NEWS. 🥳
