About boundaries.

I’ve noticed a pattern about people who tell me I should have boundaries.

It’s that they usually mean (once it’s explained to me) I should have boundaries to keep out the needs and wishes of those less powerful than me or equal to me.

A thread. 🧵

They never seem to mean having boundaries against the real things that may be harming and depleting me.

Things like institutions – one’s workplace, one’s school, one’s government, the competitive societal structure in general.

And those in my life who (now I’ve done the thread on ‘twelve ways to know when you’re exploiting someone’) who’re extracting something from me they need.

Who often, oddly enough, are the same people telling me I should have boundaries. :ablobthinkingeyes:
