Things you can say to set boundaries
Wow!
I don’t know what to say about that. That’s your opinion, not mine. I can’t hear you when you yell at me. That’s not ethical. Not cool. I’m not responsible for how you feel. That doesn’t make sense to me That’s against the law. I don’t think like you. That’s not what we agreed to. How does that involve me? Let me think about that. I wasn’t aware of that. I don’t understand, can you clarify? |
I’m not willing to risk everything.
Really? Ouch! That hurts I can’t/won’t do that. Can we agree to disagree? That’s not what I said/meant. I still love you, I still love me, too. That’s not okay. It’s okay to have a different opinion. That didn't feel good. That doesn’t work for me. That’s too much for me. Then I wouldn’t have time to take care of what I need to. That’s my opinion. |
