A life without boundaries paints a very annoying image in my head. Imagine having immense freedom to invade the lives of everybody around you without a feeling of remorse
A being without boundaries is like a rat. You might wonder “a rat?” Yes, a rat. A rat acts without caution, terrorizing one’s space, without caution or feelings of guilt or remorse. A rat has no respect for personal space. I’m sure we all see the correlation.
People often take advantage of the fact that you are family or friends to manipulate you into thinking that it’s fine when they overstep your boundaries, Forgetting the fact that even though you exist as a colony, you are individual in your choices and opinions and that your life belongs to you not them and you don’t particularly have a right to adhere to their opinions or choices
We humans need to be aware of the fact that this world is filled with people of unique differences. What might be a normal occurrence or topic, might I add, in your life, might be a very sensitive issue to the other. Applying caution while regarding humans is the highest form of education we can have.
“If you’re unsure of something, ask, and before you ask, ask if it’s okay to ask.” This is what I’ve continuously lived by and it’s working for me in respecting the boundaries of people around me. Some people chose to pay attention to only their business and oftentimes it works out for them. “can’t cross your boundaries if I’m not interested in your life”
A major number of humans are very single-minded to a point that it gets me Mad. Boundaries are like respect, and respect they say is quite reciprocal. So why do people never seem to reciprocate respecting other's boundaries regardless of how it hurts the other party? The most jarring part is people who often do this act have a problem with taking half of it.
If you often wonder why people keep cutting you off or leaving you without explanations, knowing you did nothing wrong, hate to break it to you, but these are the top 5 reasons why. Also remember, rats are always being rid of at their discovery cause they cause a whole lot of discomfort.
You write so well...To think I’ve been talking a lot on boundaries these days😊
This is so beautiful
