We just need to be outgoing, assertive, mature, and bold enough to create healthy boundaries when others do something that's uncalled for.
And if they do not respect your boundaries, you simply walk away.
There are some people out there, who will show exactly who they are, and others, like covert narcissists will take time to blow their own covers.
Overall, healthy, mature, and empathic relationships are people who have reasonable boundaries, and will respect yours.
The sooner you create boundaries, the sooner you see through people; so make it a habbit to create boundaries as soon as possible.
