One of the doctors I follow on YouTube defines boundaries as 'living into who you are. And defining for yourself what you will listen to/tolerate or not.' I like that definition of boundaries better than the idea of boundaries being something you enforce on another person. That doesn't work, so you just have to do your own thing.

Well put. I think I might have shared this quote here once before, but it is a very good statement about boundaries.
"The thing about having a boundary is not that you push and push and explain and explain until people say, 'I totally understand and respect that!' You just do what works for you and don’t debate it."
