“Their limits, no yours”...

If someone tells you “you can’t” they’re showing you their limits, not yours!

My parents were overly protective (big fears), which instilled certain anxieties in me, unfortunately. They also relied on tough love and tended to punish somewhat excessively. Ouch. I certainly learned how to be considerate, friendly and polite, which is a positive. I also learned how to over-function though, which sometimes prevents me from relaxing fully. It’s taken me years and years (and much therapy, time and money) to reverse certain tendencies and defence mechanisms. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
