    I always thought that if I walked out of a room when someone was yelling at me or criticizing me, they'd accuse me of running away. But now I understand that it doesn't matter how it looks to them.

    I think it's a bit typical of the times we are living in, the "ME" generation. I believe quite often, the person your dealing with just needs someone to understand them instead of judging them. I believe in taking the time to care and explore what's underneath them, vs my own personal needs. This is not disrespecting my own person imo. I have turned situations around, even prevented a suicide on my way home from work because I took the time to talk to a young girl who literally was in the middle of street on ground banging her own head against the pavement in traffic!

    I've never had boundaries before, and this weekend I realised something I just wanted to share here. I was starting to feel anxious at one point, and when I looked at it, or just felt it, I realised that it was my energy levels getting lower, getting closer to my own boundaries, and because I never even had boundaries before anxiety kicks in because my body doesn't trust that it's gonna be taken care of. And only then did I realise that I was in need of some time to recharge. I really want to let myself know that I am here now, that I will take care of myself and listen when I'm tired. (instead of getting angry or frustrated that I 'shouldn't feel tired so easily' or 'other people can handle more') That moment made me realise that it's more than just taking rest, it's rebuilding trust with myself and working through that old anxiety.

However, I have overcome a lot of that and am ever-growing in my journey of learning my self-worth, that I am enough, and I am deserving of unconditional love. Learning how to create healthy boundaries is a skill worth learning. I like the ebook Healthy Boundaries by MotherTree Consulting. Whichever route you choose, I trust & believe You'll get there!

    I never knew what boundaries were until a year ago and I still have trouble working out what my boundaries are. As a child I got punished for having a boundary. Boundaries are there to make you feel safe. So the anxiety is in reaction to feeling unsafe. Unfortunately if you don't have boundaries, you won't recognise other people's boundaries and may unknowingly cross them.

  • @MauriceRivers415

    Dead silence/non-reaction scares narcissists, haters, people who don't respect your boundaries, and people who are jealous/envious of you. Jealousy can mean a lot of things: rumors, competition, lies. They look down on you. They don’t miss any detail of how you are dressed or how you act, etc. They are always hanging on what others are doing or saying. They are often critical and judgmental. They often reveal things to others. They never have enough of anything; they are never satisfied. They always believe that other people are more fortunate and get everything. Often they are not creative. In fact, it is common for them to copy others. And they are happy when others fail. There will always be jealous people around you. You will come across them in your friend groups, in your workplace, in your neighborhood, and even in your family. Don’t let yourself be susceptible to this negativity, nor let it bring you down.

    Me too. My mother has no boundaries around the bathroom door either. The last time I allowed her in my space years ago, I was in the bathroom with the door closed for a few minutes and she thought it was appropriate to bang on the door demanding to be let in immediately so she could use the bathroom. It was not an emergency, she just felt entitled. I informed her she needed to leave right after that and I haven’t let her back in any of my living spaces since.

    I agree with you when the other person becomes aggressive or abusive or just wouldn't give you a chance to speak... or if it is about something that doesn't concern your relationship with this person (like politics etc.) and I totally get where you coming from. I just feel that I have to mention another way of using that sort of response... I also made the experience that whenever I wanted to talk about something that felt uncomfortable for the other person, he would just walk away, saying exactly that: "let's not talk about this, I don't like talking about this..." with the result that we never could solve any issues because without communication it is not possible. Well, as I am learning, it is his choice at the end of the day... and the only option it leaves me is to walk away from that person all together... it's painful, but luckily there are no children involved...However, if this is a "healthy boundary" to just refuse any communication about any uncomfortable topic... I don't know...

    It is definitely not healthy to walk away from any topic a person doesn’t want to address but if they are screaming and degrading you, you shouldn’t stay for that convo is what I’m gathering from the comments. Addressing issues is critical in any relationship and walking away isn’t a boundary in all circumstances. Sometimes it’s avoidance. But you are right. At the end of the day, a boundary is you deciding what you will do if someone isn’t behaving safely within your boundaries. You cannot force your mate to change but you can say this isn’t what is best for me and walk away yourself from the unhealthy relationship. ❤️

    Thank you for this talk. I've been married for 44 years and always had a hard time keeping my own boundaries. When I would get home from work I found that everything was planned for me to do with the kids and I simply just went along whether I wanted to or not. I felt that it wasn't considered that maybe I didn't want to do all the family obligations. So now, as I retire, I'm working hard to find what it is that I really want to do with my own time. And wow am I getting push back in many ways when I try to establish a boundary. I'm persevering, though. It's tough when you've always been a nice guy and then seek some independence only to have a passive aggressive, whining, manipulative schmooze hit your little fence. Well, anyway, thank you for your encouragement from this talk.

    This is a cutting-edge channel. I am glad that I have stumbled upon it. My wife comes from a culture where people (and particularly in-laws) do cross boundaries pretty often and resent being told that they shouldn't and, often, Western husbands end up becoming doormats because they fear losing their relationship. It's hard to strike a balance between showing acceptance, acknowledgment and appreciation and being strict about setting and keeping strong and firm boundaries in this kind of relationship, and all the more so, because most of the time those people cross boundaries out of ignorance and because of how the environment they grew up in shaped them. So, for me, showing understanding, trying to see reality from their point of view, and being strict about setting firm boundaries is a rather tall order to fill and a delicate balance to strike.

    I loved this video! I found it to be very easy to follow and appreciated the examples. I have trouble making boundaries. I have had family members who were so domineering and making inappropriate comments that hurt my feelings. One of there excuses was, " Oh, didn't mean anything by it". I don't care, it still hurt my feelings. After they still continued to be controlling,judgemental, and making snide comments I decided that I don't have to continue putting myself in that position anymore. I decided to not see them anymore and I don't regret it. After over twenty years of all kinds of abuse by another family member I decided I don't have to take any abuse or be the butt of anyone's jokes. I am an RN and feel this video can help me set boundaries with my patients as well. Thanks so much for this video! ❤ ; )

    Hi, I'm Jalen. And I'm a recovering non boundary setter. Not having boundaries has caused much strife in my life. I'm currently struggling in this area including setting boundaries with myself. I hadn't even considered them until about ten years ago when I finally heard it when someone spoke the idea to me. There had been times people had mentioned them before but I completely ignored this concept. Now I'm 48 and done letting this problem run my life. Thank you for this video, I'm sure it will help me tremendously.

    Last part of this video was ESPECIALLY useful. That's my weakness: I'll set the boundary, but then crumble when people continue regardless. And when they continue regardless it makes me so sad and scared, because it feels like I have no control over my own situation and whether or not I'll keep being hurt the same way. But that last bit has inspired me to fight for myself more and stay strong. Reassuring to know this is a common problem too!! Thanks Julia!

    Julia your video has been a blessing to me. Thank you. Most of what you mention I ‘m leaving it. I’m taking notes because I never done boundaries with my daughters. I have 2 married daughters who live with me with their families. I didn’t set up boundaries and now they refuse to leave and find a place of their own. They been with me over 7 years. I been telling them to leave but they just ignore me. I don’t know what to do. I’m raising rent considerably this coming year. I don’t charge them the rate they charge in Southern Ca. but I will. One of my son- in- laws told me. “ you can raise all the rent you want. It doesn’t mean I will pay it. 🙏🙏🙏

This video went a long way to answering that question for me. Particularly the distinction between request and the boundary.

    This conversation is simple to understand but is also simplistic. People can use the boundaries concept as a passive aggressive weapon to prevent resolution of difficult relationship issues. Boundaries are easy to set when you care so little for the other that you can simply walk away. But, in a real relationship, many boundaries are not set but are negotiated.

  • @diatribe5
    @diatribe54 күн бұрын

    I’m so glad especially that last part, because whenever I’ve tried setting a boundary, I invariably get the pushback. Guilt trips, telling me I’m being unreasonable, attacking my character, etc. So thank you for addressing potential pushback. Some people are reasonable about it because they needed to be corrected, or maybe others were okay with the misbehavior or really were not, but never said anything, and so they may apologize and say they won’t do it again. They might not have realized they overstepped. Most, however will pushback because they are the types who don’t respect other’s boundaries in the first place and that’s why you have to go through the trouble of setting them in the first place. Others out there have the common decency to be respectful enough in general so it’s unnecessary to have to have these awkward conversations with them and things usually go smoothly with them. Sometimes it’s strangers asking impertinent questions or other rude behavior, but often times, boundaries have to be set with relatives and friends and significant others.

    Thank you again, julia kristina. Boundaries give me a sense of self, self respect, freedom of choice, peace of mind and dignity. I am grateful for all the things the english language has given me. This is a concept that does not exist in my native language/culture. I didnt watch this channel for the last month. It is strange. Julia kristina's face looks different, especially the nose.i practice sensory augmentation. It is strange. Something is wrong with my face recognition queue.

    My minister has an evening candlelit meditation service once a month. I am highly sensitive to perfumes candles. I really want to be part of it because I love listening to the live organ music during the meditation. As the church is filled with burning candles for atmosphere, I offered to supply battery operated candles so I could participate . No more than 5 people come and I know they wouldn’t mind. As the minister sets the tone, she will not accommodate me and even insinuates that I am faking my sensitivities. Therefore, I am happy to meditate to my own music and battery operated candles in the comfort of my own home. “I get to make my own rules on my road to happiness!”
