Before Starting Any Relationship
To be able to have healthy interactions and relationships, romantic or otherwise, first work on the following:
Know what you want and need.
Believe you are worthy of that.
Know what you want to give and are capable of giving.
Effectively and honestly communicate your wants and needs.
Effectively and honestly communicate what you're willing and able to give and to not give, as applicable.
Set boundaries using the above information.
Maintain boundaries.
Remember: Boundaries are for yourself, not for others.
It’s important to set boundaries for ourselves with other people in order to stay true to ourselves, have integrity, have self-respect, care for ourselves, be able to trust ourselves, and to be trustworthy and reliant people.
