We all know how important your boundaries are, but what happens when you have someone in your life; whether it be a family member or friend; that refuses to act within your boundaries? Boundaries are actually a reflection of how we see ourselves. For the most part, people tend to respect these boundaries when you set them, but you will have outliers who will try to gaslight you or make you feel like these boundaries are ‘too much’. Are there gentle ways of telling these people no? And, how do you know if these people actually have merit in their concerns vs. it’s just them trying to test you? Whether it is genuine or not, it’s very important to pay attention to people who are not respecting your boundaries! These people are directly benefiting from you. When you have someone clashing against you, take a step back and really analyze to see if this relationship has mutual respect. People who covertly violate your boundaries can be very sneaky. It can feel like you’re in a pot of water that’s slowly getting hotter and hotter. They can keep pushing you gently until you’re questioning your own world and where your true boundary line is. Do not get fooled by these types! Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
