For example, when someone violates your boundary, you can: Assertively restate it. Correct the violation in real time. Don’t let the opportunity pass and then mention it later. Say it in the moment. Accept that they, although difficult, are entitled to their response even if it’s different from the one you’d like. Decide not to take it personally. They want to do what they want to do. You’re asking them to do something uncomfortable that’s likely difficult for them. Manage your discomfort.
