How close can you get to another person? And how close do you let others get to you? Do you know when to say stop? What to do if you feel someone is crossing your boundaries? These are just some questions related to the topic of human boundaries. We need them to feel safe, which is why it’s worth setting your own boundaries and respecting those of other people. How do we do it?

Being amusing is not always the best solution for sadness. Each of us may need something different to feel better. Sometimes it’s enough to be close to someone or talk. It’s good to listen to yourself. It’s also worth talking about your needs so that others understand you better and are able to help if needed.

I’m here for you. Thank you. These two, frankly spoken phrases are like balm for our nerves and malaise. Support helps us survive difficult moments – we feel that we’re not alone and it’s always easier to face problems together. Gratitude is the art of appreciating someone’s help, but also recognising good things around us. Even the smallest ones.

Empathy is not an emotion but a skill, which means that it can be learnt. Thanks to this, we are able to understand the emotions of others better. And then it may be easier for us to refrain from judgement or criticism.
