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. There’s 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 it’s for the greater good of ourselves + others. And that’s the whole idea of boundaries too.

Any way, I think they’re related

The conceptual framework of this thread is not being able to say yes to every opportunity
