Lori Harder explains why boundaries matter in friendship. People who respect your limits stay in your life long-term. Those who push back when you set boundaries don't belong there.
The people that I know that I can say no to, they're still my friends. The ones who have gotten offended or they're upset. Like, I can't believe you wouldn't say yes to whatever. I'm like, great. I can't have them in my life anyway. I can honestly tell you that I look around at my friendships, and they are the people that I want to be in rocking chairs with when I'm 80. Like, and I also know they're going to be there, like, through all of it. And it came through boundaries, like, setting boundaries and being clear but loving. It's giving us the best relationships of our lives.
