Overview

The boundaries you put up to protect yourself are appropriate for what you're going through now, so don't listen to anyone who claims that you are too closed off. You know what you're willing to share and not willing to share -- and there's no need to budge on this. The restrictions you put on certain relationships are not serving a negative or confining function. They are helping to establish who you are and what you're comfortable with. And they are helping you feel more in control of your life.
