@itsirinakay: Kindness without discernment is self-abandonment. There’s nothing noble about giving someone unlimited access to you after they’ve repeatedly shown you they don’t know how to value it. You can be generous, forgiving and deeply loyal - and still become incredibly selective about where those qualities get invested. Sometimes self-respect isn’t a confrontation.
It’s a reclamation of your own value.

INFJ here… this is exactly how we operate. If we find someone that aligns with our values and our energy, we’ll pour into that person and only that person. We have very strong boundaries, with limited access to who is allowed into our inner circle, and that access is quickly revoked when we are disrespected, or worse, betrayed. Betray us, and we remove people from our lives permanently (friends, co workers, our partner or love intreat, and even family) never opening the door to that person or persons ever again.

I’m never judging, trying to teach someone a lesson, or make a point. I’m just no longer interested and wish them all the best things.

Be the ceo of your life. Promote and demote people based on their actions and merit. A lot of ‘friends’ now experiencing ‘associate’ level access these days…

Walking away is the loudest boundary. People just don’t respect or understand boundaries.

This is absolutely me. One time my quiet exit cost someone else their job and they had no idea. I was the guardrails they didn't even realize they had.

I’m that person, i don’t react but i limit engaging myself if i don’t want to deal with you anymore. I still be cordial but i limit what i can do for you.

Aron Malkine :
incorrect, you undermine a friend that way, burying resentment. true friends are out in the open about consequences of behavior

If you don't tell people the truth about the relationship and how they treat you then it creates bitterness and dishonest relationships.

Namegoeshere97 :
There’s nuance here though that should be considered. Sometimes friends are too demanding and want more from a friendship than the person is capable of returning. Everyone has their own battles they can be quietly battling. I think it’s important to consider what each of you are capable of bringing to the relationship and find your fulfillment elsewhere.
