Interesting thread. I feel like in terms of physical boundaries, it really depends. Overall, I'm usually OK with being close to someone else as long as he/she isn't sick, LOL. If I like someone, I'm inclined to be very friendly and enjoy having close personal contact. But, nothing bothers me more than when someone accidentally bumps into me and jars me. It just annoys the **** out of me, LOL. In terms of emotional boundaries, I can be really private unless I trust someone well. However, it makes me happy when someone I'm getting to know notices I'm upset and wants to hear about it...it can be hard to limit myself sometimes when the 'floodgates' open since I feel so deeply, but I'm getting better at drawing boundaries and not overloading other people with how I feel/what my issues are when we talk - and also, not taking on too many issues from other people, or becoming too emotionally invested too quickly.

I have them and fiercely defend them. If you try to cross them, I will warn you. if you do it again, I will cut you off. I have learned the hard way from being too trusting and giving of others that is is absolutely important to establish firm boundaries. IP: Logged |

^^My clone reads my mind too! I agree with all that you said, I swear every time I think we can't get anymore similar we do!! I love really deeply and quickly so it's hard for me to lay down any boundaries, I don't mean romantically but generally. I love people and want to help as much as I can even if it means hurting myself in the end. I feed off of the energy of my surroundings, good or bad. It's getting a lot better the older I get though which is great. The one thing for sure that I don't tolerate and will almost immediately cause me to put up a steel wall is when I'm pushed or disrespected. I become a different person. IP: Logged |

I have have strict boundaries for strangers and people that I don't trust. I don't like them asking me the simplest things. Leave me alone. But once I feel that someone is trustworthy, I give away perhaps too much information. Physical boundaries... IDK. I never thought of it. I guess they are not quite as strict. IP: Logged |

Beautifully said. Ditto.
I grew up never knowing what it was like to have healthy boundaries. It's only been after my Saturn return that i really began to realize what those are and in turn began to develop healthy ones with others. It's like being reborn again. New, foriegn territory...and not always easy to navigate. It's weird coming from such a dysfunctional family, w/ a main parent that didn't believe in boundaries of any sort and was abusive. As i get older, i learn through observation of others relationships how true loving families operate and it's really fascinating to me. It wasn't until a few years ago that i realized how important boundaries are (w. the help of some therapy).....and how much they can be disrespected, especially within families. IP: Logged |
