I’ve recently had some issues involving friendships and I have realised, with the help of a friend, that I don’t really have any boundaries for how others treat me.
I am at the point of almost allowing someone who has treated me very badly to walk back into my life like nothing has happened.
After a well intentioned comment from a friend about boundaries, I’ve had a look and realised that I actually don’t have them. I allow people to treat me badly and don’t do anything about it for fear of rejection.
I aneed this to change and very soon. I’ve always thought of myself as a doormat but didn’t know why.
Can anyone recommend any books or websites that can help? Others seem to automatically have these boundaries but my need to not be rejected seems to mean that I don’t.
I am currently in the situation where this is about to happen and I need to understand my own thought process on this and put boundaries in place.
Any advice is very welcome. Thank you!
