No boundaries
Lack of boundaries is the difficulty in defining, communicating and protecting one's needs, time, space, values or body.
Definition
The lack of boundaries may manifest itself in constant consent despite oneself, excessive explanations, fear of refusal, accepting someone else's responsibility or allowing behavior that violates one's well-being. Healthy boundaries are not a punishment for others, but clear information about what is possible and what is not. Their goal is to protect the relationship and their own integrity, not to control the other person.

Practice and life
Pick one situation where you usually say "yes" out of fear. Prepare a short boundary sentence: "I can't do it on this date" or "I need time to respond."
