Building healthy boundaries — whether you’re at work, at home, or hanging out with friends — hinges on understanding the types of boundaries.

The four types we would be talking about are: 

1. Physical: This refers to your personal space, your privacy, and your body. You might be comfortable with public displays of affection (friendly hugs and hand-holding), or you might prefer not to be touched at all in public.

2. Intellectual: These boundaries concern your thoughts and beliefs. Intellectual boundaries are not respected when someone dismisses another person’s ideas and opinions.

3. Emotional: This refers to a person’s feelings. You might not feel comfortable sharing your feelings about everything with a friend or family. Instead, you prefer to share gradually over time.

4. Financial: This one, as you guessed, is all about money. If you like to save money — not spend it on trendy fashions — you might not want to loan money to a friend who does.

When you get ready to establish your boundaries, be sure to take each one into account.
