Having poor boundaries stems from a lack of self esteem and not taking time to get to know yourself and what you stand for. Maybe you have put up with a lot of bs in relationships cause you continued to justify their behavior. Been there, done that. Then ended up with someone who was JUST better than the rest, but still not meeting my ideals. If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. You have principals and know your strong points. Be ever mindful of that and let it set a guideline of your own boundaries, what you will or will not accept. Work on knowing yourself and asserting those principals and letting the right ones in.
