    Hi Anita, only just noticed your reply about my 3rd thread. Thank you for asking, i think id be happy to talk about that as a separate issue as it felt quite significant. I hope im not offloading too much for you.

    Thank you again for your kindness in listening and offering feedback.

    You’re always welcome, and no: you’re not at all offloading too much, really! I’ll answer then in your third thread later on (taking a break)

    Ps. Wrt to reading certain stories on this journey, im asking myself why do it? I think id be better reading childrens books sometimes.

    Hi Anita, i hope youre having a good rest. I just rested for a time, allowing myself to do nothing at all and it was much needed!

    Im sorry the above post wasnt clear. What i meant to say was, with respect to reading certain stories, im questioning now why ive made myself do it. I havent recognised an appropriate limit for where i am at.

    I do recall being urged to read some material by others, but im realising i need to be more vocal about not agreeing, and learning to set an appropriate boundary.

    I can relate this to watching some programmes too. They just arent healthy, or arent appropriate.

    Thanks for bearing with me as i reflect on things ….

    Hey Starlight1 🌟

    I just replied to your new thread. I will read your post above (and any post you may add) when I return from a walk with my 🐕 Bogart the Beagle and attend his play date with the neighbors’ beagles Kooper and Kurby. And then continue to clear the huge blackberries in the yard.

    Thank you for explaining (your post in this thread, right above). So, you watch certain programs or read things because people urged you to do so, and you kept reading or watching even though the material felt unhealthy or inappropriate?

    If I understood correctly, then I can relate. Not to this specific thing but to anything and everything that involves saying “no” and setting boundaries.

    I bet there are online exercises in regard to teaching setting boundaries and other assertive. There’re probably YouTubes on it. Some may be helpful. Did you ever look into that?

    But guess who is not recommending that you read or watch anything (even if I had something in mind for you to read or watch)?

    Me 🙂
