When Good Boundaries Reframe Your Stories
What you say and how you say it, affects other people. Being sensitive to this can be empowering.

I was impressed that they wanted to help & heal the wounded. I thought they had empathy. I was wrong.
I find myself deeply wounded by thoughtlessness. I have learnt to discern when people’s actions & words stem from malice (deliberate intent to harm). But unintentionally caused hurt is painful too. I’ve reacted with anger & met reactions of shrugging off responsibility. Neither reaction has respect or empathy. Blame games…
Please don’t ask me to read you. I’ve spent far too long looking deep into other people.
I see you look with yearning eyes for people who don’t make time and space in their life for you. I can only give you second best – my company. I say second best, not because our conversations are less than the ones you could hope to have with anybody else….
How can any one of us possibly measure what pain means to another? Who can truly determine which problems are bigger than others?
