Are You A Nice Girl…Or A Pushover?

4. Set Limits
There is nothing wrong with helping folks, but this should be done within reason. Do people usually ask you to do the unacceptable, unthinkable or the impossible? Do you make excuses for people or normalize their abnormal requests or demands in order to feel justified when giving in? People will usually push you to see how much they can get from you when they sense there are no limits to what you’ll do for them. Examine your boundaries and what you’ve allowed people to get away with in the past, and then set NEW boundaries. Once you’ve done that, let others know that you won’t tolerate it when they test or violate those boundaries. It’s the only way to be treated with dignity and respect.
