Honestly, boundaries are so empowering. I love being able to say "no" to people. It wasn& #39;t ever really an option growing up, so I think now that I& #39;m an adult I& #39;m maybe enjoying it immensely

But like, it& #39;s just so good to know that I can decide not to respond to asshats. I can tell people I don& #39;t want to talk to them until they use the correct name for me. I can put myself and my comfort FIRST! That& #39;s a real actual thing I can do!

This thread brought to you by a) therapy and b) @CAwkward & #39;s many wonderful posts on setting and maintaining boundaries
