There is a lot of talk these days about personal boundaries and other lines that mark the limits of what is possible in communication and other types of relationships.
However, when discussing this topic, rarely does anyone pay attention to the fact that personal boundaries do not always need protection.
Why you shouldn't protect
Persistence in defending one's position does not always benefit a person. In this case, a woman may be accused of having a hysterical character.
The man will be compared to a couple of animals, called stubborn and thick-headed.
This is why it is important to assess the situation adequately.
When there is no need to protect
In short, in a situation that will not affect your reputation in any way. Just remember Krylov's fable "The Elephant and the Pug" before you answer.
Attacks and accusations in such a situation can only complicate the situation, especially if no insults were made and no one oppressed you.
Therefore, one should not create a problem where there is none.
You should protect your space if they try to make you “comfortable” by shifting responsibility for actions, decisions made, or in other situations onto your shoulders.
