Unlock the Secret Tactics Emotionally Intelligent People Use to Set Boundaries—Without a Trace of Guilt
On the other hand, those skilled in emotional intelligence, communicate exactly where they stand.
They don’t sugarcoat their message with too many apologies or qualifiers.

This simple, matter-of-fact language shows that the boundary is firm, without being confrontational or rude.
If you approach boundary-setting with clarity, you’ll feel more confident in your stance and less guilty about standing your ground.
