Define boundaries. What does it mean to protect one's boundaries?

What will be an ideal response?


Boundaries define your personal space (i.e., the space that defines you as distinct from others). To be assertive means to affirm your right to protect your boundaries from inappropriate intrusions. Though boundaries can refer to physical space, they also refer to psychological space (e.g., privacy). In its simplest form, protecting one's boundaries means saying "no.".
