As someone who was once terrified of displeasing others and would genuinely not be able to function with my day if I thought even a colleague was upset with me, practising boundaries is the best thing I’ve ever done. Like with anything, the more you do it the easier it becomes. Start small.
These can be liberating and great for people who are crippled by the weight of pleasing others.
But they can also be a recipe for abuse in the same people. "I'll treat people like shit. Not my job to make them happy. It's ok if they get angry." etc.

Huh, so that’s what boundaries are. TIL I have no boundaries.
