I feel like sacrifice is an under-explored component of the discourse on boundary setting.
Like, when saying no to things, at least for me, it often does feel like I am giving something up. Something I wanted or something if interest. Something I think I might have enjoyed or been good at. Thereâs loss involved with that. Sometimes, in extreme cases, even suffering.
I feel these things a lot when setting boundaries
definitely in the beginning

But of course the whole idea of sacrifice is grounded in that itâs for the greater good of ourselves + others. And thatâs the whole idea of boundaries too.
