I'm strict about my boundaries now because every time l ignored them, I ended up learning the same lesson all over again. I used to give people chance after chance even when their actions already told me everything I needed to know. I'd overlook things, make excuses, and convince myself to see the good in people who kept showing me otherwise. After a while I realized not everybody deserves unlimited access to me. Some people get one opportunity to show me who they are, and that's enough. These days if something don't sit right with me, I pay attention the first time. I'm not interested in repeating lessons I've already learned.
