Learning practical communication skills can help you when establishing healthy boundaries.

Whether you have a partner or need to communicate your needs in a friendship or with a family member, the need to set boundaries occurs in all types of relationships.

If you are a passive communicator, chances are you’re not getting your needs met, or you might go along with what anyone else might say to avoid conflict.

Practicing assertive communication will show that you:

are aware of your needs
can communicate those needs clearly snake game
can set and enforce clear boundaries
Consider giving yourself space to reflect on your thoughts before communicating with others, to help you express yourself confidently. It doesn’t have to be long, you may just take three deep breaths to offer yourself more time before responding during a conversation.
