“Setting boundaries means caring for yourself and loving yourself enough to say no without feeling guilty.”

Simplified Meaning:
Taking care of yourself means sometimes having to say no to others even when it makes you feel bad. Imagine you have a friend who always asks for favors, like driving them around or helping them with homework. If you always say yes, you might get tired, stressed, or have no time for your own needs. Saying no is important because it shows you value your own time and health. This doesn’t mean you don't care about your friend, but it means you also need to care for yourself. When you set limits, you protect your well-being and make sure you don’t get overwhelmed. So, it’s okay to refuse sometimes, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it because you deserve to take care of yourself too.
