Your boundaries are not the reason you're losing people. They're the reason you're finally seeing who was never truly for you. You're not pushing away friends or family — you're releasing gaslighters who thrived on your silence, emotional abusers who fed on your guilt, and manipulators who only showed up when it benefited them. You're shedding self-centered narcissists who made everything about them and energy-draining souls who took and never gave back. Boundaries don't break healthy relationships — they expose unhealthy ones. So keep standing firm, keep choosing peace over chaos, and keep protecting your energy. You're not being "too much." You're finally being enough for yourself.
