it bothers me how little people are aware of what boundaries are and why they are important. that people think real love or real intimacy means no boundaries, when for me, respecting another person’s autonomy is a part of a healthy loving relationship. being smothered in a relationship, assuming all access all the time, disregarding another person’s personal space or need for time apart, not respecting privacy or adjusting behavior to make sure the other person isn’t uncomfortable is disgusting to me.
