 I wonder if you've ever used silence as a boundary. I know it sounds strange but what I mean is when you're around people who you know do not listen to you and don't see any value in your words or your voice or opinions then silence is a great thing to choose. I don't mean silent treatment. I don't mean that reactive manipulative thing. I mean a calmly chosen silence that you choose which is saying I value my words too much to waste them on people who are determined not to hear me, not to listen to me. It's a silence that springs from self-respect. It's a silence that is saying I value my words more than I value your listening to me. It's not a silence that belittles their voice like all boundaries. This is not about anyone else but you. It is a chosen silence rather than a silence imposed on you by others. You could speak but you choose not to because you know your words have no value to these people around you. Experiment with that today. It will get misunderstanding and so on. I know that but it will hand you back a huge sense of control and peace and empowerment around people who do not listen to you and so you create a boundary of silence to let them know that's okay. I choose silence around you rather than choose to shout over your resistance like all boundaries it empowers you. Love you guys. Hope you're okay. Speak to you soon.
