Loving the shrooms lol

Lol thank you !!

Just thought I'd check in.
I only deal with negative people if they're abusive or abusing my healthy boundaries. We unfortunately will meet and work with the unwell and unhealthy. I find a definite statement about my boundaries with specific examples can help all but the sickest or angriest. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Our boundaries are ours. I can tell when mine are being pushed, tweaked or attacked by how I feel internally. Of I'm angry or fearful or I'll at ease it's a sign something isn't right.
Now I need to identify if it's me, someone else or sometime something from my past... Hope I helped. I know AA helped with my overall growth and Sobriety but Alanon really helped me out with my boundaries...good luck

Thank you always for taking the time to check in and give me detailed response. It means a lot. It’s mostly my family. They feed off codependency, and guilt tactics. Work people and people in general can be toxic too. I do need to set more boundaries I tend to be too understanding and forgiving and end up getting hurt. Thanks again ! This definitely helps me

Get a :dog: or πŸˆβ€β¬›. They will brighten your day and love you unconditionally.πŸ„β€β™‚
