#16, Tess Jewell-Larsen, On Boundaries

Boundaries are a tough topic, especially when it comes to any relationship.
We often crave acceptance and recognition by dismissing our authenticity for that.
We think if we're are more available, always present and positive, that's the only way to be liked.
As Gabor Mate says, this society praises those that self-betray or dismiss those close to them. The society normalized hyperavailability, overworking, stress, self-betrayal for the good of others, and so on.
That is because we are often afraid of our authenticity and true needs, tapping into and expressing them drives us into a fear of rejection by those close to us and larger society.
In fact, true needs and boundaries create health, spaciousness and real intimacy.
By supporting ourselves and communicating what we need to others, we express our wants for honesty and real connection.
