@kelikuppers777: The people who benefited most from your lack of boundaries usually have the biggest problem when you finally set them. I’ve tolerated things I never should have. I stayed loyal to people who weren’t loyal to me. I let people talk down to me, and even worse, I let them talk down to people I cared about because I kept hoping they’d change. Eventually you realize that protecting your peace isn’t being “too sensitive,” “mean,” or “a narcissist.” It’s called having boundaries. I’m not walking away because I can’t handle criticism. I’m walking away because I refuse to keep making excuses for people who choose dishonesty, cruelty, or disrespect. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do isn’t roar. It’s realizing some people simply don’t deserve a seat at your table. 🦁 #Boundaries #ProtectYourPeace #SelfRespect
