Why You Feel Guilty After Setting A Reasonable Boundary 🤷‍♂️ | jeffkinkade.com

This video explores why setting a reasonable boundary can still trigger guilt—and why that reaction doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. A man asks, “Am I wrong for not wanting to include my coworker in after-work plans?” He’s visiting his company’s home office for a week. One coworker—emotionally intense and easily hurt—has already planned dinners and activities for every single evening. The problem? He didn’t ask. Landon doesn’t want to spend his evenings with this coworker. He wants downtime. Space. Time to recharge after work. But he already knows what will happen if he says no: hurt feelings, guilt, withdrawal, and emotional fallout that could spill into the workplace. In this video in my Case Files series, I explain why this situation isn’t really about social plans—it’s about emotional responsibility. We’ll break down: Why setting boundaries at work can feel so uncomfortable How some people train others to manage their emotions for them The difference between being kind and being emotionally responsible for someone else Why avoiding boundaries actually damages connection over time A clear, respectful message he can send—and why it works What happens when you comply out of anxiety instead of choice You are responsible for being respectful and kind. You are not responsible for preventing someone else’s disappointment, frustration, or sadness. When people react poorly to reasonable limits, the problem isn’t your boundary—it’s their relationship to boundaries. This video is about learning the difference between emotional caretaking and healthy human connection—especially in professional relationships. _ _ _ _ _ People are complicated.
