@tiyechambers: #boundaryup Some people only see you as the fixer, the listener, the giver or the problem-solver because you haven’t given yourself permission to show them a version of yourself with boundaries. Regardless of the relationship dynamic, it’s perfectly ok (and allowed) to assert yourself through spoken boundaries —“I can’t help this time,” “I don’t appreciate, nor will I tolerate this treatment.” “I need this to feel comfortable.” “I can understand and respect your frustration, but this is still what I’ve chosen.” If people continue to read your good hearted nature wrong, show them a different page. . . #boundaries #toxicrelationships #HealingJourney #healthyboundaries #selfrespect #selfworth #youdeservebetter #iamenough
