foreign [Music] step it into a world where friendship is like a vibrant dance secrets are shared laughter is endless and Adventure await in every corner it's a place where you feel like family a place where it can be your true self but have you ever wondered about an invisible treasure that makes the friendship even more magical it's called boundaries now it might sound a bit unreasonable
to those of you who have best friends who shed everything with like you know each other a bit too well like you've lived with Twitter in your past life but without boundaries you may begin to feel choked trapped seen as someone overly gullible so we can't say no because they're scared of what their friends might say in the end you might begin to wonder why this
is and how to bring it to an end I know this because I've been in the situation before without realizing it I told my friend everything I mean everything in the end I began to feel obligated to tell you not everything so I did eventually I was betrayed by the trust and information I gave her leaving me sad and Confused but now here's what I want
you to know you don't have to tell your friend everything about yourself your relationship won't end because you decide to keep some things personal you have the right to share the things you want to share and keep the rest private a true friend who understand and respect your need for personal space and freedom to disclose information at your own pace additionally don't be afraid to say
no say no doesn't make you a bad friend it simply means you're communicating your boundaries and your preferences remember a true friend will respect your choices and appreciate your honesty it is also efficient to identify what you need in a relationship not trying to live up to a realistic expectations to try to make the relationship survive also building how the boundary is not about shutting yourself
out it simply means you trying to create a balance for both you and your friend to thrive so how do you build healthy boundaries well it starts with self-awareness get to know yourself your needs your values and your limits once you do you'll be able to communicate your boundaries more effectively secondly open up a conversation with your friend talk about your emotions and your concerns once
you do you'll be able to communicate your boundaries I remember healthy boundaries walk both ways thank you for listening [Applause] [Music]
