Boundaries: "Do you know how to keep proper boundaries?

[LightSun]

"Do you know how to keep proper boundaries or do perhaps overstep and become intrusive? What is your feeling when a person enters your personal space and oversteps your personal boundaries?"

"Everyone has a right to personal boundaries. To push emotionally into another person's personal space is not showing sensitivity. To reveal too much emotion to another person in a torrent is showing an emotional need on your part. It is unfair however to the other person who may be caught off guard. This can cause confusion and turmoil. It is the people around us that influence us for good or ill. It takes a supreme act of will to disengage from people we may have had a shared past, but now are on a different path in life.This is part of boundary setting and removing ourselves from 'psychic' vampires, so to speak.

Part of being emphatic is learning proper boundaries of respect. Have a boundary and be faithful towards your own personal standards when traveling upon your life path. Do not compromise your own value's and what you stand for. Seek to understand, learn and to grow from each of life's lessons. Another may in fact be on a dissimilar journey nor can you reach them. Cliche, "Take the high road." A person cannot argue with an ignorant soul. An ignorant person who is lost is rigid, dogmatic, closed minded and shows a lack of both tolerance and respect for other people's beliefs.

This is true especially when it comes to views which are dissimilar to their own. Senseless arguing with a closed minded individual shows and reflects a lack of insight and wisdom on your part.
The person who may complain, blame and cast disparaging talk aren't walking a path to healing nor are they seeking proactive solutions to their problems. They are seemingly cast in a net filled with illusion's and fears but are not aware of this fact.

What one can do in such a scenario? State your own held position without expecting to convince the other to your way of thinking if they are not yet ready to listen as well reflect upon a different angle of thought. Do not seek to control the other. This is negative energy and is counterproductive."

Boundaries are very important, but they do demand self discipline. And we discover self discipline through regular practice until it becomes second nature .
