How do you set boundaries without feeling guilty?

I really feel it hard for me.

@SoulHeaven

If setting boundaries and holding people to them was easy .....more people would be doing it and have a less issues.  

Guilt.... I found I have become immune to it .... Standing up for what I need or felt was right for my life has become easier with every boundary I set.  

is your feeling of guilt self inflicted or pushed on you from others?

@toughTiger6481 it self inflicted not pushed by others. I feel i hard for me to set those boundaries.

@SoulHeaven 

It took me a long time to do this and my only regret is i did not do earlier in life ...... I talked myself out of it with guilt 

  you are worth it do not build your own roadblocks to a better outcome.

The easy answer is, it's not easy!

Because people want you to suit them and when you start saying no, they don't like it!

It takes time and firmness but boundaries are vital for you to feel better and to not feel resentful!

Know what you need and stick to it!

What you need matters too!
