People lack boundaries because they have a high level of neediness (or in psych terms, codependence).
People who are needy or codependent have a desperate need for love and affection from others. To receive this love and affection, they sacrifice their identity and remove their boundaries (Ironically, it’s the lack of identity and boundaries that makes them unattractive to most people)
– Constant need for reasurance that you’re liked/loved
– High demand for attention
– Sacrificing ones identity
– Failure to take responsibility for one’s own emotions or OVERACCEPT responsibility for other people’s emotions/action
– Discomfort in being alone
In my personal experience, this is probably embeded cultural conditioning (given fact) for middle class educated/professional men/women from minority cultures, more so in men given their self-esteem and self-worth being linked to title, degree, bank account, entrepreneurship, social importance.
