Control / Boundaries

Hears no, keeps pushing.

A Boundary Pusher doesn't miss your limits — they test them deliberately. After a clear no, they try again with a different angle, a reframe, a guilt trip. They treat stated limits as a starting position in a negotiation rather than a final answer. The persistence isn't accidental. It's a pattern of finding out where your line actually is, and staying just past it.

Common signs

• "I thought you said no but…" after a clear limit
• Persists after a direct and explicit no
• Reframes or renegotiates stated limits
• Uses guilt or pressure to erode stated lines over time
