The therapy concept — the line between what you will and will not accept — as the internet's most-invoked word of 2021–23, applied to real abuse and to being asked to attend a birthday. The record's entry for the word that made 'no' sound clinical.
Minor, but the record should note that Boundaries predates the date most people give it. I have a post from 2021 and I suspect there are earlier ones. Correcting the born field is above my pay grade.
The record notes 'setting a boundary' is now said about declining a Zoom, and that the concept has been stretched so far that the record has set a boundary about it.
My first sighting was 2021, in a reply from someone I have never met, and I understood it immediately. That is the closest thing to magic the internet still does.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
