Home as Boundaries

Do you find it hard to say ‘no’? 

Many of us, especially in Asian culture, find it challenging to preserve our sense of ‘home’ even by the simple act of saying ‘no’ - from hesitating to let guests know that it’s late and they should leave to not knowing how to keep a distance when we don’t have the emotional capacity to listen to our friends’ problems.

Like any other life skill,  developing a sense of sensitivity to others and for yourself is something that requires practice.
