Psychotherapist Explains Importance of Space and Boundaries in Healthy Friendships

Analysed 19 Aug 2026·2 sources analysed·Lifestyle
Psychotherapist Explains Importance of Space and Boundaries in Healthy FriendshipsPreviousNext

Psychotherapist Dr. Chandni Tugnait emphasizes that healthy friendships do not require constant availability or immediate replies. Both articles highlight the importance of personal space, emotional boundaries, and separate routines in maintaining strong, balanced friendships. Delayed responses or a friend's need for space should not be seen as rejection but as natural human behavior. Respecting these boundaries fosters trust and empathy, allowing friendships to thrive without pressure for continuous communication.
