You Finally Set Your Boundary, But Now They're Mad
Setting a boundary is hard enough. But when someone gets mad about it? That guilt can hit so fast.
If you’ve ever said “no” and immediately felt like you needed to apologize for it… this message is for you.
Here’s what I want you to know:
You didn’t do anything wrong.
You’re just not abandoning yourself anymore. That will upset some people—but that doesn’t mean you should stop.
From People-Pleaser to Peace-Keeper: Setting Boundaries Without Guilt
People-pleasing is one of those habits that sneaks up on us. It often starts from a good place—wanting to be kind, helpful, liked, or easy to get along with. But over time, constantly putting others’ needs above your own can leave you feeling exhausted, resentful, anxious… and totally disconnected from yourself.
What is Your Fear of Change Costing You?
Fear of change might keep you feeling safe and cozy…but what is it costing you?
Change is inevitable, and it's a constant part of life. The changes and choices you have to make after high school can be overwhelming. Whether you go to school or start a career, stay at home or move away, keep the high school sweetheart or move on — it might feel like you are being asked to make big, important decisions nearly every day.
Many young adults are held back, however, by your fear of change, feeling paralyzed and reluctant to embrace new opportunities. The worry and anxiety that come from wondering if you’ll make the wrong choice, fail or disappoint someone can leave you standing still instead of moving forward with your life.
