Why We Should Have Self-Boundaries?

Have you ever been ordered to? Feel used? And always giving a lot of effort to someone and feeling powerless? It means that you have no boundaries. In a boundary, you indicate what is acceptable for you and what is not. It applies to yourself and to others. Dr Henry Cloud in one of his books said "Healthy boundaries are like property around your home. The fence is one boundary, your front door is another boundary, and the rooms inside are more boundaries. Some people are allowed to enter your front yard, other people are allowed inside, and other are able to enter a room." So boundaries are setting physical space, emotional space, mental and spiritual space for your own self with different priority scales.
