There is a difference between healthy boundaries for our lives and selfish boundaries that merely keep us safe from everything and everyone else. God doesn't tells us to lock ourselves away in our little cocoons and never allow anything bad in. He does tell us to maintain healthy boundaries as we are led by the Holy Spirit, not merely for self preservation, but for the good of everyone involved in relationships.
Believers should never continually focus on self for safety ...and protection or they would never speak to anyone who didn't meet with their personal approval, even in the smallest matters.

Narcissists often disapprove and malign those who don't think like they do even over things that are not sin but only differences in thinking.
I am just now, in the past couple of years, learning about boundaries, I never had them before, but I want to be sure that they are guided by the Holy Spirit and never just for my own protection. God is showing me little by little what my boundaries should look like and how they should operate.
Below is an excellent article on this subject!
