Boundaries and mental health issues
“In terms of mental health issues, setting very firm, clear boundaries with people who are narcissistic or have narcissistic tendencies is an absolute must. Saying no without explaining yourself, sticking to your no, and walking away when things become too intrusive or unhealthy are healthy parts of boundary setting with narcissistic individuals and others,” says Dr. Jackson. “You set the tone for how people treat you. If you don’t set boundaries, it tells others they can say and do anything. When you set boundaries, you respect yourself and demand that others respect you too.”
