Boundaries
Personal limits that define what feels acceptable, safe, and respectful in emotional, physical, or sexual interactions.

Boundaries describe personal limits around comfort, safety, and autonomy that may differ across contexts and relationships.
They are not fixed rules and can change over time as needs, trust, or circumstances evolve.
Examples
Saying no to certain activities
