I have trouble with keeping people from overstepping my boundaries and stepping all over different parts of my life without giving them an invitation to, so please pray they will leave me alone and stop crossing my boundaries without an invitation. It’s a situation where if I was ever supposed to be friends with them I would need to know who they are but I could never learn who they really were. This happens with random people in my life and some are harder to get to go away then others. I care about them as people but I want my spaces to be shared with people that will be real to me and not shut me out on their ends.

older sister, probably much older on October 25 at 1:23 pmI am so glad I was able to relocate this post, I have been under a lost of stress, and in looking for people to pray for, I let my own mess get in my head. Sincerest apologies for my hurtful rant. God bless and keep you.

Robin on October 24 at 4:29 pmI urge you, dear sister to be careful accusing people (anybody) of being deceitful when they have their boundaries crossed. Mine isn't as severe as these but many people have bad things happen to them every day as a result of having their boundaries crossed...getting robbed, having their identity stolen, abuse, etc. (just to name a few).

older sister, probably much older on October 24 at 3:35 pmDearest Robin, I pray that you will learn to be the real person you seek in others. If your boundaries are constantly being trampled, as you indicate, it is because you are not defining, or defending them. People will only let down their walls when they feel truly safe. They need boundaries to establish safety. The fact you actually wish they would go away, but don't simply tell them so, is duplicitous. How can someone trust you with their feelings, when you are not honest with yours?
