Don't Tell People Your Boundaries. Show Them.
Don't tell people your boundaries. Show them.
If you tell someone they can't talk to you a certain way or do certain things, those are not boundaries. Boundaries are things we show. If you tell someone "if you do that again I am not going to speak to you" and you stay and continue to speak to them, that's not a boundary. Just words. Words that they now know means absolutely nothing and they can take advantage of.
You show people how to treat you.
You reinforce your boundaries with your actions. Unless you show someone with your actions that what they are doing is not okay, and you do not continue to allow it, they will keep doing it.

I guess I’m being more honest in the moment, instead of just trying to be friendly or something. I’ve stayed quiet a lot in the past but that leads to people putting words into your mouth.
Chelsea Wolfe, from an interview conducted c. November 2017 (via perfectquote)
A loner girl at heart, I love my solitude…🖤 -Lex Carter
Do not confuse good taste with luxury, the first is the son of elegance, the second of money, the one is usually simple, the other vulgar.
