Setting boundaries is a life long process. In my case at least, the older I am, the better I get at honoring how I feel about other people's requests, needs and wants. One thing that comes with age is wisdom, and that compensates for all the other things that are usually not so well received.
What I know about boundaries is that:
1) It's not easy to set them at first. But it gets easier with practice.
2) We go through a short lived uneasiness when we say NO
3) That uneasiness is so worth it. In exchange you get: a strong sense of self-love which boosts your self esteem.
4) If you do set them, you will find that people that don't respect your boundaries are not worth having around.
5) Those who don't respect your boundaries are usually the toxic bunch.
