Let’s be real — adulting comes with unspoken lessons no one teaches you. Like how to say no without feeling guilty. Or how to protect your peace without losing your people. That’s where boundaries come in — and they’re not about pushing people away. They’re about creating space for healthier, more authentic connections.

When you’re constantly exposed to other people’s “best moments,” your brain starts comparing. You might think, Why am I not there yet? or What’s wrong with me? Over time, that comparison erodes confidence and self-trust. It’s not weakness — it’s human psychology.
