Set your boundaries and love yourself

 Here’s a fact: You can tell a person countless of times how they made you feel and they still won’t get it if they don’t intend to.

You can clearly set your boundaries, emphasize the lines and what it costs if they cross it, but they still won’t see it if they’re not putting an effort to look hard enough. 

You can communicate well about how they make you feel everytime they don’t take your No’s seriously and they’ll still forget it.

You can be fully honest with them about how you can work it out or how you can meet halfway but they’ll still look past it.

You can explain your non-negotiables in detail, try your best to be most considerate so you don’t offend them, but they’ll hold it against you if they’re not ready for a confrontation. 

Everytime you try to communicate to people who aren’t ready to face their truths will just lead you to a loop of avoidance and piling up of emotional baggages. Every attempt to communicate will be misinterpreted as starting an argument if you’re doing it to the wrong person.

Here’s a truth: you’re not overreacting, you’re not being petty. You’re being clear about your boundaries and you shouldn’t be sorry for it. You should actually be proud because not a lot of people are brave enough to do that. 

It’s not you. It’s just that you can’t make yourself be heard if they’re not willing to listen. 

You can’t teach a wrong person how to treat you right, how to be a good friend and how to love you if they don't see anything wrong with their actions. Don't lose yourself to the wrong ones who always cross your boundaries. Have enough respect for yourself to walk away. I know it hurts but you need to know you're worth.
