Doing this deep dive into "Set Boundaries, Find Peace" by
lately (read episode one if you missed it!) made me think about how I struggle to honor my needs. Hopefully, this will help you be a bit more aware of this too.12 Comments

I once communicated my needs to a “friend” and she started calling me names
Now I got someone who totally respects them and she’s just like me
I totally get this...but...the issue is, even if they do 'accept' my needs, I won't really believe that they do, and think they're just being polite - or even that they're relieved they got out of hanging out with me...(Like "Oh.... If they'd meant it, they might have suggested chilling and watching a movie or something instead of shopping. They mustn't like me. Oh well ...guess I shouldn't bug them anymore..." (and then of course I won't suggest hanging out like that instead because I think they don't like me so they won't want to and I don't want to force them to be polite and do it anyway...)) 🤷♂️ A never-ending spiral of RSD/low-self-esteem....
