Boundaries

Boundaries

I have very poor boundaries. I let people talk me into doing things I do not want to do. I am not intimate enough with those close to me and over share with people I am not close to. I feel I cannot reveal my true self to my parents for fear they won’t approve of me.

I feel like my mother violated my boundaries and my sibling’s boundaries constantly. I have violated my sibling’s boundaries, especially the oldest of my younger brothers, and violated the boundaries of my romantic partners.

I try to control people or I go too far in the other direction. This is what I witnessed in my mother.

I am often passive-aggressive or avoid people for fear of being controlled and made to do things I do not want to do.
