We set boundaries for ourselves and in doing so determine how people will treat us. When we do this, we let go of the outcome because we don't control other people.

Anger is a common emotion when we don't let go of the outcome, what other people do, or not.

Girls are often raised to, no matter what, be nice/play nice. When we establish boundaries for ourselves, we are being nice to ourselves. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

We are all works in progress.
