If you have answered more yes than no then chances are you are truly enmeshed and need help.

You need to redefine boundaries and clarify your stance.

Often creating boundaries is confused with being unapproachable and seen to be controlling and limiting.

But often it is about creating a space for the self, as much as to draw a line for others so that they dont tread all over you.

Caring for the self matters and one can be empowering and empathetic at the same time.

So it is important to know your needs matters and that it is not necessary to say yes to every thing and every one. You need to to learn to take a stance and set your boundary that allows another to respect your being.

Only when you establish your stance you create healthy boundaries for others to take you seriously and not take advantage of your kindness.

It is important to know where you end and another begins.Then you learn to be in relationships and yet be yourself fully as you are and not full of yourself.

Expanding your sense of self can be challenging as well. Simply understand all of life is valuable in it’s own special way including you . In respecting life and living you convey the value and responsibility of mutual coexistence.
