Who Continuously Ignores your Boundaries
It always seems to be the same friend who continuously ignores your boundaries. You know who I mean. They’re constantly complaining, gossiping and causing chaos. Their living a life of drama and trying to suck you in.
Trust me when I say this is who they are. Anyone who listens to them is also vulnerable to being part of their unhappiness.
Don’t succumb to this behavior, do not own it. Their problems are theirs, not yours. Kindly ask them to refrain from gossip. Please stop complaining, it is unsettling, and this is not a therapy session.
Now don’t get me wrong, we all have been there ourselves hoping for someone to listen to us. I’m talking about the constant negativity who finds fault with everything, and everyone causing them dissatisfaction and steals their joy.
I know this is wrong, but I wanted to prove a point to my friend. When I didn’t receive a reply from my friend who just the other day was complaining about the same thing. Not just to me but told me how a friend of hers asked, “why are you causing all this chaos”, nonetheless, she tells me she was already asleep and didn’t think it was a big deal. She knew what I was getting to and said this isn’t the same thing. Well of course it’s not, in her eyes. This is just rude I said.
So why do we surround ourselves with people who always seem to associate ourselves with those who continuously ignores your boundaries.
I remembered afterwards about making allowances for others, even those who continuously ignores your boundaries.
Peter asked Jesus how many times shall I forgive someone
Make allowances for each other’s faults and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember the Lord forgive you so you must forgive others. Colossians 3:13(NLT)
However, many times we may forgive someone to keep the peace and the friendship.
Would you agree?
