Hi Myoasis,

I think biggest part of setting healthy boundaries in relationships is knowing who you are, what things you like, and what is you want out of the relationship or even out of life in general.

I also think the other part is making sure you communicate your needs and sticking to your guns if the other person tries to change your mind.

Sometimes we have a tendency to let others violate our boundaries because we cave into what they want us to do, rather than what we want to do... so I think being to stick up for ourselves is something that requires a healthy dose of self esteem.
