Setting a boundary is an important expression of love for oneself. To mark that a line will not be crossed is to affirm one’s own autonomy, one’s own value.
It’s also a powerful message to the person who is overstepping the boundaries. Occasionally you’ll find that when you do it, the habitual line-stepper will be astounded, saying “Nobody has ever spoken to me like that before,” giving them pause.
By setting a boundary, you are holding up a mirror to the world, allowing someone to see the consequences of their behaviour which they might not have previously considered. You are setting a model, so others can see that it is alright to have a sense of self, to be what you truly are.
