At the age of nearly 50 I am just now learning what boundaries are and setting them. I had none. I feel that caused an insane amount of vulnerability and openness that most are not able to handle, and probably shouldn’t have to. Emotional maturity = emotional intelligence if you’re willing. Kinda funny how boundaries can limit you (wrong way to say that, but can’t put it into words) but the lack of can also not only limit and hurt you, but also affect those you.
