What is a boundary you wish you had the mental foresight to set years ago?

I spend a few minutes thinking about this but nothing really comes to mind? For boundaries to be an issue I guess I need people to approach me in the first place. I am of a strong -- often too strong -- conviction to my morals so I don't really say yes to things I shouldn't (or at least don't regret it when I do). On the few occasions where people did things I did not deem appropriate with me I quickly shut them down and often banish them from my life entirely, the only thing I got there often is that I gave people the benefit of the doubt / a chance when I already had a feeling it would end "badly". Maybe sometimes I wish I was more lenient, but I grew up with parents that constantly disregarded my right to have boundaries so I have a natural instinct to defend myself that is hard to shake. Maybe I am fucked in the head but in a way I wish sometimes I had people wanting to violate my boundaries, but maybe that's just a weird kink.
