Establishing limits in friendships is crucial to maintain healthy, amicable bonds. These actions will help you in setting boundaries:

1. Recognize your boundaries: Consider about your comfort zones and your boundaries.

2. Be upfront with communication: Be sure to politely and clearly share your boundaries with your friend.

3. Be specific. Establish your readiness and reluctance.

4. Establish consequences: Specify what will occur if limits are crossed.

5. Get comfortable with aggressive responds, To communicate your demands and feelings, use "I" statements.

6. Be mindful of their boundaries as well. Recognize and honor your friend's boundaries.

7. Maintain consistency: Respect boundaries at all times to keep people trusting you.

I have always tried to set limits that may be one of the reasons that I am not disliked by the people. I don't have many close friends because my nature. I agree those who don't set boundaries make many friends. What about you? Do you set boundaries in friendship or not?

I set boundaries also. Keeping myself in s silent mood is understandable by my colleagues and at home. They don't dare to bully or annoy me, They know the consequence.

Are we talking about close friends or the distant ones? Close friends do not need such boundaries, they know just how they are supposed to behave. I believe that when you have all those rules and regulations they make your friendship uptight unnecessarily.

Setting boundaries in friendship is an important thing because without them there would definitely be issues here and there and that can turn into a big conflict that might be very difficult to control. I believe that it should start with honest communication, that means letting your friends know what makes you comfortable or uncomfortable at any point in time. True friends will respect those limits and then you should also respect theirs too. That makes the friendship healthy and long lasting
