Reasonable Boundaries you can enforce without guilt

Transcript

I am going to teach you guys reasonable boundaries to have and enforce. Hey, are you free Tuesday? Yes, I am free Tuesday. I would like to go on a date on Tuesday. Sounds good. It's now Tuesday. *no response* Hello? Are we still going to see each other tonight? *no response* This person doesn't need a response from me. But in my head I know that this person does not value my time. So I will never prioritize them on my schedule ever again. That's on boundaries. I would like to see you. Can we hang out? I would like to see you too. Do you wanna get drinks? I really want to see you, but I do not want to drink. Is there another activity that we could do? Maybe get dinner? I mean, yeah, I guess I don't have to make a decision on this friendship right now. But I should keep it in mind that they don't want to see me as much when I'm not drinking with them. And this may not be to my health and betterment. That's on boundary. Hey, can you give me a ride on Friday? Oh, I am glad to help you whenever I can, but Friday I'm absolutely booked. I'm so sorry, I cannot help you. Oh man, are you sure? Cause I really, really need a ride and I don't have anyone else. Truly, I would love to help you if I could, but I cannot. That's fine, whatever. If I'm completely booked, and busy and unable to offer help. It is unreasonable for someone to be upset with me when I'm not able to help them. That's on boundaries. That's on boundaries.
