Forgoing short-term pleasure and comfort is important in order to complete day-to-day routines, responsibilities, and long-term goals. As a result, a person requires realistic limits. Individuals who did not have healthy limits set for them as children often have a hard time accepting realistic limits as a core need in adulthood. When introducing the concept of realistic limits to such individuals, their healthy adult side can appear to understand the concept even if their impulsive side rejects it altogether.
