Beyond social distancing, people of all ages … starting at a young age, every person needs to learn what healthy boundaries feel and look like in order to have safe, healthy personal and professional relationships.

For those of us whose boundaries were invaded at a young age, as teens and adults it becomes crucial for us to understand the value of boundaries and to develop healthy ones at any age.

Personally, I had poor boundaries most of my life, which caused grief for others and myself, but as my “Respect Level” has risen, so has my ability to respect everyone’s right to a circle of privacy and protection that cannot be entered without invitation … because otherwise it is a violation that can easily become threatening, abusive, harmful, and even deadly … pandemic or no pandemic.
