I try to figure out if I'm uncomfortable simply because my boundary is being pushed, or if I'm uncomfortable because I'm pushing it in the wrong environment, or with the wrong person/people. You don't want to have an internal backlash because it was the wrong time/place to go exploring.

However, if it feels like the right set and setting, so to speak, then I can't worry about "getting sliced in half". If we retreat out of fear then we won't get very far. I feel that if you're doing what's right for you, then it will only be scary and difficult at first. If it's right, it should get (or at least feel) easy and flow smoothly very quickly. The fear is only at the threshold of the boundary.

After being through the things I've been through, few things do more than make me nervous and as long as I can stay focused on whatever reason it was that I had for crossing that boundary then my nerves will cause me little discomfort
