Here's a reminder that setting boundaries for yourself is important and you don't need to feel guilty about it.
And a reminder that if someone sets a boundary for you, please respect it! You might have a response due to trauma, like RSD, that tells you that when someone sets a normal boundary they're calling you a bad person or rejecting you. Remember that they aren't. They're not rejecting you. They're not insulting you. They're simply setting a boundary for themself. It's okay to feel bad, but don't guilt them about it. It's okay to ask them for reassurance that they don't hate you, but not to guilt trip them anything like "sorry ahhh I'm an absolutely horrible person I'm terrible I'm terrible" (lol). Promise to respect the boundary and then respect it.
