Respecting Boundaries

''I had an upbringing to respect other people's privacy and their right to be and choose what they want, and I expect - no, demand, no less for myself.'' -Kristian Nairn

Some people think everything is worth talking about, I don't.

Not respecting the privacy and personal space of others shows a lack of respect for boundaries.

@Essential true... Often the damaged by life have the widest..

@Essential which, I think, maybe the opposite of what they really need...

@Convivial Perhaps for some. Sometimes we make the mistake of letting people in only to find that they are the manipulative kind and so we draw a line that should not be crossed which serves as a fortress around ourselves for protection and when that line is crossed, the boundaries widen, as you say. Such is life, 'Once burned, twice learned''.
