Set a boundary kindly without a lecture

You need to say no, or stop something, without a blow-up. Get a short, kind line and a follow-up if they push.

The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me set a boundary kindly.

Who: [person]
What needs to stop or change: [specific behaviour]
What I've already said: [any]
What I can offer instead, if anything: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. One kind, clear boundary sentence.
2. A calm repeat if they push.
3. What I'll do if they ignore it (action, not a threat).
4. A softer version and a firmer version.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. person: a short note you already have. specific behaviour: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
