Struggles with boundary discovery

How some people struggle to calibrate depth, intensity, and charge in real time with other people.

🕵️‍♀️ Which dimensions are worth exploring?

Boundary discovery should enable us to discover and retain a live understanding of three dimensions of boundaries.


💡 Informational boundary

  1. How much complexity, abstraction, or novelty can be held?
  2. Where does curiosity turn into overload?


💗 Emotional boundary

  1. How much emotional charge can be present without flooding or shutdown?
  2. Where does resonance turn into self-protection?


🤗 Engagement boundary

  1. How much participation is wanted right now?
  2. Feeling something ≠ wanting to explore it.


Having proper access to this data helps understand when:


  1. overstepping and understepping happens
  2. people are interested but not that interested
  3. people silently withdraw instead of explicitly saying no
