About setting boundaries with others?

[Illusory Self]

I have been unhappy for quite a long time now and it mainly results in setting weak boundaries, when it comes with my family... almost doing things to please others at my own demise and happiness. 

I am getting a grip on it as of late but I am not 100% clear and certain how what types of boundaries to set with family,friends etc.. 

It feels complicated because I am afraid of upsetting others

 

I feel setting boundaries with parents is such a tricky task but I notice even lately when I have not been seeing my mum as much, I have been feeling much better.

 

Not many people around me value the same things I do, I just want to know how other people go about setting boundaries with friends, relationships, parents without upsetting them as I know it is something I need to work on

I think this is universal. But in an ideal world, any parent would want their child to be able to set themselves and maintain good boundaries - even if it's against them. I would love any child of mine to be mature enough to do this.
