Johnny Depp once said:

 “What you decide to tolerate more than once will inevitably become a pattern that will repeat itself.

By not setting clear boundaries, you teach others –

and to yourself– that certain behaviors or situations are acceptable, even if they make you uncomfortable or harm you.

Every time you allow something that goes against your principles or your well being, you open the door for it to be repeated. Setting boundaries isn't just about firmness, it's about self respect. "
