People do take offense but it's your own self esteem that's most important.

People do take offense the moment you begin acting in their own way or simply say it was enough... how convenient

I know this topic has been discussed million times, and I apologize to you who find this too much.

The topic is important to me and I can relate to that guilt feel and feel of selfishness whenever I do something about setting boundaries in relationship with someone I love very much. I literally feel ill if I draw the line as I always believe there must have been something I could have done before doing that drawing... awful feeling...Still obviously much to learn about self respect.

If I am not emotionally involved, I have zero problems with setting limits though.

I hope you are coping better than I do with this thing...

This is a great topic ! We need to set boundaries both in the Life-Style and in our vanilla lives!

I hope you can get to cope better! It is hard when we are emotionally involved!

Jenny, boundaries are crucial, for any relationship, and not respecting them shows a lot about how someone sees you and (not)respect you. I find it difficult when it comes to those I care for deeply, but will get there where I need to be. Hopefully they will too.

Wondering, if later on, once you've become MORE comfortable with someone, if a discussion about 'boundaries' can be re-visited, and changes made and understood, regardless of how small or large they might be? Still requires the SAME HONORING of the limits that have been changed, and TRUST in the person that the changes were made for, which should be UNDERSTOOD by both parties before the changes can be implemented...GREAT TOPIC!!!

I believe the boundaries can be re-visited, with changes made which shall be discussed, accepted, understood...
Though that requires two mature responsible sensible adults. Not sure how often those two actually meet in real life.

This article has been borrowed and shared as I thought someone may find it useful, so thank you for reading.
Boundaries should be applied to any relationship, and within the Lifestyle many here inhibit especially.

"I am going to go and finish dinner. I will talk to you another time."

Much more tactful than "Fuck off!!!"

Which is probably what you'd say.

Me? Naw .... I'd go with an "Eat Sh_t?"

Not a bad alternative.

Plz, I would always go for more diplomatic addressing, yet sometimes people don't understand the language of diplomacy, when it is necessary to use the vocabulary they comprehend better, such as in your two very good examples

boundrys & limits = rules to be kept for personal & mental safety
unfortunately they can be hard to apply w family members!
removing oneself from the disrespect is strong showing of oneself to others that over stepping the boundary will not be tolerated...it’ll either work or escalate the disrespect those that understand learn quick & apologize as opposed to the ones who escalate the drama!


ExNameForUse replies on 2/1/2023 9:19 am:
BDD, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely agree with what you said, especially with part that refers to family members... setting boundaries with them in my case meant end of any contact. Sometimes that is the best solution, yet sometimes I deeply struggle with feeling guilty for drawing the line. I hope some will understand when the time comes and they mature a little more.

Great writing.
Thank you,

I believe, especially women/girls did not learn to set bounderies, because "us girls/womens" always needed/ learned- socialized-
to "bé nice", instead of telling someone; NO!

It is a ongoing struggle.


ExNameForUse replies on 2/1/2023 9:24 am:
Rosa, it is true what you wrote and it goes so deep in our mind, it is how many were raised, taught, and sometimes not even aware of how deep that is engraved in their subconscious. Going out of that net that's spread around us requires a lot of self work, struggles with your inner being and those around you and it can be very painful and with a high price...

Yes, us wimins, is drilled into us, to not take in too much space, make yourself small, keep your voice down, speek softly, "be nice".
dont be too strong, etc and on and on.

Since i never had that kind of upbringing, socializing, i dont have much trouble with it.
It is true that peope dont like it, when i dont conform to their idea about how a woman should react, behave, move, sit and all that.
They feel uncomfortable around me.
I am not such a woman.

I can behave like such a woman, but never for long, i never learned those things.
it is against my nature....

Although, freezing, when attacked, it still a thing...
Like with so many women.....
