So many things you said blew my mind, about 7 or 8 times I think. Very well done.

    Yes! This happened to me when a 'new" narc neighbor tried to force himself in to my life. He kept leaving gifts on my front porch after telling him nicely that I don't want anything from him . But he continued to try to force me to take his gifts and then finally I had to get in his face and calmly but sternly said "no, I don't want or need anything else from you" to his gifts and asked him to "take a few steps back away from me" (the gift smothering was so weird and kept insisting about how gifts are "what friends do for eachother", and I just met him 3 weeks before and probly only spoke a total of 45 minutes alltogether in passing outside). Now he leaves me alone. If I see him outside we are cordial with eachother. It felt so good.

I didn’t hear from him for a couple of weeks until he needed his mail and other things from my house. And when he did contact me he tried to bait me into drama where he was going to verbally attack me but I was finally able to shut it down before it started and not feed into it.

    I just always assumed that people are like me and have the best possible intention behind every action. I was wrong. I know for myself that I always want to help, and I always sounded pleasant, kind, helpful and understanding. I noticed that those who knew me only as an agreeable person, always open for helping others, couldn't accept when I said no, or when I just a little changed my ways of helping them. They get so angry, become annoying, rude and sometimes violent. It was very odd for me, but I've learned. Better lose a friend who doesn't want good for you, than lose yourself trying to be a good friend to everyone. They want what they want, they will get it no matter what, because they're not here for communication, but for making orders - nicely packed with words please and thank you. Strange but I guess that's life

    I find it so difficult to set boundaries. I grew up not knowing this. I thought that its okey for other people to push me around to do what they want because it is what i saw, lived and experienced with my mother. My mother does not accept "no" for an answer for the things she want me to do and everytime i would say "no" she would be in rage at me, judge me, criticize me, minimize me, insult me,or punish me by ignoring and not talking to me for weeks. So early on i get used to saying "yes" automatically to her though it hurts me so terribly. Now as an adult i find myself so drained and hurt many times because i don't know and have boundaries. It is such dark painful path to be in. I want to thank you wholeheartedly for sharing your knowledge and insights about this. You shed light and guidance into my life right now.♥️

    Same here. First I have to learn how to be and stay in touch with myself, my needs, my feelings, my boundaries while being in contact with somebody else (except my boyfriend). No longer dissociate, leave myself and trying to melt with the other person, anticipate what this person needs, feels and meet their expectations. Only because I fear that rage, isolation and punishment like from my mother (malignant narcissist) even though I went no contact 9 years ago. Working on overcoming combined personality disorder since decades. Even with therapists I'm afraid to speak my truth, to say what I need and what not etc. Writing helps me when I'm not able to verbalize it to the other person. When I'm alone, after a meeting, I can quickly feel what I missed to say, what I didn't feel in the moment due to emotional flashbacks. We can heal. For sure!

He does not truly love and accept me for who i am and abused me emotionally and physically.

    I set boundaries with a friend who , for 4 years avoided paying multiple tickets .... she refused to acknowledge/address the issue until the state came after her bank account...she implied that she needed money, but never fully asked (even though I knew she was asking)...when I asked her, "What are you going to do?" She cut me off.. and then stated to the world, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." Yea...bc that's what I'm good for...solving her damn problems she could have addressed for 4 years - but refused....not sure what she thought was going to happen eventually. I'm so over people playing the victim. If you're old enough to have children and pay the rent.. you're old enough to deal with the pitfalls of money as well.

When I was interacting with my mum and said no the rage, abuse and guilt/shame that was thrown at me it was easier to give in and stop the abuse than to stick to my boundary. But watching your videos, Stephanie I reaffirm that I say no and then step away even if my brain is being totally mushed and the frustration/rage inside of me is huge, but I take it away to deal with. SUCH a hard journey this one. Grey rock is ok now, after therapy, but saying no to my mum is still the hardest thing to do because of the rage and abuse that follows,

    Boundaries has been one of my big issues. I know I should keep them, and I plan to keep them, yet I fail to stick to the plan. I think it has something to do with forgetting to work on myself and working for the other person instead of working together. I think it should be made clear at the beginnings of the relationship that this is a team game not a solo sport. That way theres no confusion for you leaving or putting in less effort to help than before. You get what you put in you know. Thanks for the video!

    So happy to hear this. It reinforced my doubts on a recent discussion I had with a friend. Though my " friend" didn't respect my boundries and tried to call my family members to tell them about our disagreement. I did not call yours so why you calling mines. My family did defend me and told her not to be calling them to talk bad about me because we were both grown women and if she can't hang not to be playing games she can't hang with. It totally open my eyes and that was 1 step I needed to learn to set boundries. Lately I have been practicing them though not everyone is a fan off

    My biggest problem with saying « no » is my fear of appearing boring and uptight. The story I tell myself is that I’m « happy go lucky » and « relaxed ». But people have taken advantage of me, and I’m starting to tire. Starting to say « no » quicker. It feels much better.

    If your fear causes you to sabotage your own boundaries and needs...the fear needs to be addressed at the root level. The core wounds and narratives need to be healed and challenged. Then you won’t fall into being bound by fear of what you appear like to anyone else..you instead get to be congruent with what you want and need. Hope it’s going well for you! I no longer care what people think when I say “no”. I know the “yes” to me is worth it & I’m supporting myself.

    When I say no, everyone want's to know why I'm saying no. They demand a reason. Treats me like I have no reason to say no. Since I have time during the day, I should have time to do anything, anytime for others. Then they work on making you feel guilty for saying no. I'm not in my Narcissist, sociopath, manipulating, alcoholic, relationship any more. I am healing.

    I needed this.. I’ve been saying yes to my adoptive family for her conditional acceptance my whole life to the point I said yes to overtime 1.5 years to my fiancé’s family’s business… the last 3 months I’ve felt resentment towards him and then because I was the only one that worked overtime just to be left back on the line while they can work remote… it’s hard and I’m tired of breaking my back to not get the help (pay) or support (team becuase they let go of more people while upping production). UGHHH. Learning every day to be a new person that doesn’t need to over explain the simple things.

    You're the expert but an authentic explanation shows respect in my opinion. People not struggling to fight that impulse of over-giving are completely comfortable with giving an explanation for why they are doing things because they aren't afraid of whatever the reaction is. Indeed no explanation is kind of a tactic that the narcissists I've known will do.

    🙋🏽‍♀️ empath, HSP, co dependent, healer and nurse. Totally, exhausted, compassion fatigued, burnt out, Never feeling loved or loving myself has pushed me into a corner and I’m fighting for myself, my self love and it’s a lot of NO’s and a lot of self love going on… Not sure what I will do for work with my nursing degree in the future but right now…it’s finally all about me, my health and well-being. I’m having it very hard to help selfish, mean, demanding, over baring, no boundary having supervisors, patients and families… Most the ppl we treat caused it on themselves, they drain the life out of ppl around them at times then their folks attack the nurse because they can get away with it…a nurse is always wrong It’s a horrible day to be a loving caring person/nurse when ppl take advantage at every turn. The stress keeps the body and spirit under water. I got this! It will all work out for good, since 1997 I put myself on the line for others. And from 1970, I’ve been a no boundaries having daughter to a narcissist mother… And am well over it. 🤭

    the more i listen to this, the more I realized that people were very entitled to me and I said yes just to protect myself from their guilt tripping or emotional abuse. It became an habit but I say yes and no when I have time for the things that I am asked for. But truly I have been around users and they gave me that habit for tranquility and a sense of love. They gaslight me so bad into questionning my decision. Thank God, I think for myself and trust my judgements but I still have this pattern within me

    Recently I set the boundary with a narcissist family member that we can no longer be in the same room together alone without another person present. Finally I'm free from being victimized, emotionally abused, gaslit, and ostracized because I'm taking the power back that was robbed from me so long ago. When abusive people expect you to be a doormat, and finally realize you aren't game anymore they get mad. Just standing my ground now, and the dynamic is shifting. Thanks for this video!
