Although every person should love and respect themselves, they often allow others to cross the line and communicate inappropriately. What does this mean?

If an individual does not protect their own boundaries, other people may ignore their needs and desires. What phrases will help a person build their own boundaries and not let them be crossed?

"I know you weren't trying to hurt me, but this situation still made me feel uncomfortable."

Even if someone makes fun of a person and, seeing his reaction, immediately justifies that he did not intend to cause him inconvenience, you should not leave this situation without attention.

Otherwise, the interlocutor will continue to assert himself at the expense of his opponent.

"You may have your own opinion, but I think differently."

In no case should an individual agree with someone's point of view if his thoughts on certain things are absolutely opposite to what his interlocutor thinks.

"I respect your point of view, but I cannot accept it."

A person should not be convenient for others, even if they try to convince him of their rightness. Each person can have his own vision of certain events.

"Thanks for the advice, I will definitely take it into account"

In any situation, a person must first of all listen to himself, even if someone tries to impose their advice on him. Yes, they can be taken into account, but it is not necessary to follow them.

"My 'no' means refusal"

If the interlocutor does not respect the individual and continues to insist on his own, even when he has already been denied some request, the person will have to make it clear to the interlocutor that he will remain adamant.
