5. You're a better communicator.

　　你能更好地与人沟通。

　　In order to really establish limits, you have to state what you can or cannot tolerate, Buck said. That means being clear and concise. Expressing your own needs will also allow you to be more transparent. All of these characteristics are elements of good communication.

　　巴克说，为了真正设立限度，你必须要明确说明你能忍受什么或者不能忍受什么，这也就意味着你必须说得清楚简洁。表达自己的需要还会让你成为一个更透明的人。所有这些特征都是构建良好沟通的元素。

　　6. You start trusting people more.

　　Expressing your limitations to others means you're trusting them to handle those emotions you’re conveying, Buck said. And more trust means better relationships.

　　7. You're less angry.

　　你会少些愤怒。

　　When you don't have set boundaries, it means that gives other people the power over your own life — and that can lead to anger.

　　8. You learn how to say "no."

　　"No" may be a small word but it's certainly powerful. The most basic way of establishing a boundary is declining anything you don't have the capacity to handle.

　　When you're compassionate toward yourself about what you can tolerate, you're better able to express that to other people who have their own boundaries they want to follow.
