Should and Shame
The word should creates pressure. Pressure can become shame.
Healthy relationships allow curiosity, choice, and respect. Internal boundaries protect self-worth. Notice how you feel around someone. Are your choices respected? Say no to unwanted advice, inappropriate flirting, pressure, and dead-end relationships.
Replace “I should” with “I choose.”
Boundaries protect your peace.
