Notice your limits
Pay attention to situations that drain you or feel unsafe; define what needs to change.
State them clearly
Use short statements like 'No, I can't do that' without excessive justification.
Follow through
Enforce boundaries with actions (leave, end call) if they?re not respected.
Handle pushback
Stay calm, restate once, and disengage if needed; safety first.
