5 Consequences For People That Cross Your Boundaries Repeatedly

When they just keep walking all over you

You’re a kind, loving, giving person. Somehow you attracted this person into your life that was also, kind, loving and giving…at first. Then, they changed. You’re not really sure when or how it happened. They stopped caring when you were upset or angry. It didn’t matter so much if you were happy anymore.

You told this person that you don’t like how they are treating you. They didn’t care and continued to cross your boundary, inviting someone over that you don’t like, or going places that you know a committed person shouldn’t want to go to. They always had some excuse, like it was their buddy’s fault, they were just trying to be nice to someone, or they didn’t realize that would be a problem. Or worse, they turn the argument around on you and make you look selfish, nosy, or insecure.

Finally, you’ve had enough

You finally mustered up the courage to stand up to this person. You told them you were not going to put up with this behavior anymore. You set some boundaries. “If you continue to ignore my wishes, I will leave the house.” This person didn’t care. You told them, “Next time, I will need to go stay at my mom’s for a few days.” It was better at home for a while, but then things got worse than before.

Unfortunately, you’ve met up with a toxic or narcissistic person. This person seemed to really care about you in the beginning, but the truth is, they never really did. For them, you were a source of supply, someone to build up their ego. It was a game to get you hooked in the relationship, whether it was a romantic partner or a friendship. Once you were hooked, they became bored with you.

The thing is, you are sensitive. You really care about the people in your life. Negative energy really affects you strongly. It makes you exhausted, and it could even end up causing you unwanted health symptoms, like migraines, IBS, joint pain, and other aches and pains. You just can’t have someone like this in your life. You realize this, but you still care about them. You wish things could just go back to how they were in the beginning. I’m sorry to say, that is not likely to happen. You’re going to have to get that…
