Beyond Blue: Good Boundaries, Bad Boundaries

[rozchatt]

There is a difference between helping and being used...Helping the kid might have been to give him a shove just to get started, being used is feeling obligated to keep on pushing him when he could do that himself. I prefer the concept of being used rather than being stolen from, although I can understand that seeing it that way could make it easier to say, "No." Wanting to help and wanting approval is a problem I deal with as well.

Well I generally disagree with most normal-sensitive people writings - 99% of them were written by individuals stronger than me.

However, God's my last hope. As long as he teaches people kindness and wisdom, it suits me. I WONT die on the cross for him, I WONT be happy when my Normal Sensitive parents intimidate me telling their stories.I WONT turn the other cheek, I WONT give my weaths to poor. I WILL agree with fact I will never do well among NSP, I WILL do my bests to stay NSP - dignified.

Thanks 4 passing on the visual samples. Looking at it that way makes more sense 2me. I think it was okay to say no 2 a child 4 something that wasn't critical. I pray 2be able 2 set my limits because I know I can't blame others for depleting my energy. Thanks again. =)

l like your videos, but I agree with what the other person said...you just may have missed a JOYFUL moment.

Then again, trust your own boundaries!

great information...self-care is important so people like me have to have strong boundaries and say no

Screen=boundary LOVE it!

Staying stronger great validation for my goal of having more energy for what i NEED, such as children...priorities

It would have been worth the energy to see that child smile.

What are we put on this crazy earth for if not to make life easier for others. I agree that we have to learn to say no to people but it is a release for me to give to others. The thing that got me out of my deepest depression was geting a phone call from my gma and she just cried and told me noone had called her in days and I got up and got dressed and went and talked with her for hours. Maybe that kid needed you...maybe he wanted a mom like you.
