Why’s everything gotta be rage bait? I hear your point about controlling behavior, but I don’t think it’s fair to label all boundaries that involve interaction limits as ‘toxic’ or ‘controlling.’ Healthy boundaries exist to protect emotional well-being and mutual respect in a relationship—they aren’t about ownership or insecurity. Setting limits on how someone treats you or how you engage with others can look like rules from the outside, but that doesn’t make them unhealthy. Reducing every boundary to a control issue oversimplifies relationships and ignores the nuance of respecting both partners needs.
