Afi Ruel Yesterday, we talked about why you need boundaries to succeed. Today, I want you to understand that safe people respect your boundaries. People who consistently violate your boundaries or try to guilt you for having them in the first place. I also want to hip you to a very subtle way that unsafe people disrespect you and your boundaries. They will ask you repeatedly to do the thing that you’ve already said no to. The goal is to wear you down so that you comply with their wishes even though they have no regard for yours.
If you struggle with identifying safe people, start by developing and enforcing boundaries. Unsafe people always react adversely (even if subtly) to your boundaries. Safe people respect your boundaries. Safe people will also have no problem being told that they’ve crossed your boundaries.
It’s okay to go it alone if you must until you find safe people to share your life with.
