#boundaries #toxicperson
Along the path of learning to love oneself, becoming your own parent and so on lies the point where one has to learn to become your own policeman in the name of enforcing ones own boundaries. Creating a set of boundaries is akin to creating a system of laws , and laws have to be enforced or they are ignored. In the same manner, boundaries have to be constantly POLICED or people will ignore them. Setting boundaries is a constant process, every new person has to be shown your boundaries as part of the introductory process and even people you have known for years will occasionally need to be gently reminded. Try to go easy on the ignorant though, keeping an iron fist in a velvet glove is far better for you than a naked iron fist metaphorically speaking, after all it gets rusty and then you're left with nothing.
