Boundaries

“I volunteered to stay late and I have no idea why because I don't even like the project.”

“I apologized first again even though I don't think I did anything wrong, and now I resent both of us for it.”

“I keep agreeing to plans and then hoping something will happen to cancel them and feeling relieved when it does.”

“My friend is going through something hard and I've been showing up for her and some small part of me is waiting for it to be my turn.”

“I've been saying yes to everything because I'm afraid that if I say no people will stop asking.”

“I listened to my friend talk about her problems for an hour and I realized I've been doing this for years without it ever going the other way.”

“I agreed with something I didn't believe because the group was very certain and I didn't have the energy to be the one person who pushed back.”
