What’s the best way to set boundaries without creating unnecessary conflict?

r/

Speak clearly and keep it simple. Boundaries are about what you will do not about controlling someone else. The less you justify the less room there is for argument and the easier it becomes to stand by your decision.

    Exactly! Clear, calm, and concise communication works best. Focus on your needs, avoid blaming or explaining too much, and be consistent. Respect goes both ways, when you set boundaries firmly but kindly, it’s easier to avoid conflict and have healthy relationships.

    It’s like setting a fence around your garden, you don’t need to lecture the neighbors about their weeds, you just make sure yours stay out.
