Holding Your Ground: Setting Boundaries with Difficult People

Isn’t it interesting how some people react when you start valuing yourself and setting boundaries? ✋

There are certain types who won’t respect those boundaries—not to test if you care, but to see if they can push you just enough to get what they want. When you finally draw a line and call out behavior that’s been hurtful, they’ll often deflect, distract, or even point the finger back at you. It’s a way of making you question your right to set limits in the first place.

So, how do you stay true to your boundaries without feeling like you’re stepping into a battle? The truth is, sometimes with these types of people, you can’t avoid the pushback—because they’re not ready to reflect on their own actions. And even if they do, it’s often just to smooth things over, without real change.

The only thing you can do is to be brave, stand firm in your worth, and trust that you deserve respect. If someone can’t respect that line, it’s okay to let them go. Your peace is worth it.

I explore this topic even further in my latest podcast episode which you can check out here and at the end I give you a really simple methodology for dealing with people who like to deflect, get defensive and point their fingers back at you.
